Towards a New Quantum Platform Based on Ultracold Molecules
Abstract
We propose to construct a new quantum computing platform using ultracold polar molecules. Molecules have microwave accessible rotational structures with very long intrinsic lifetimes, large electric dipole moments, and tensor polarizability. These features combine to provide the building blocks of a new, scalable qubit system that has advantageous properties found in no other current quantum platform. A close collaboration between two uniquely qualified groups in the US and Republic of Korea will accelerate the development of this new molecular quantum computation machine. These groups will share techniques, engineer new methods for quantum manipulations of ultracold molecules, develop new ideas for quantum computation using molecules, and construct the machine. The success of this project will add a new, powerful quantum platform for quantum computation and promote its development more broadly.
