Entangling ultracold molecules
Abstract
Control and imaging of individually trapped ions and neutral atoms have been crucial to developing them as powerful quantum building blocks for qubits, gates, clocks, and sensors. Bringing these capabilities to molecules promises additional quantum applications, enabled by the rich internal degrees of freedom and intra and inter molecular couplings. This proposal details an experimental framework, including cooling, trapping, and coherent atomic and molecular quantum state manipulations, to achieve single particle and single quantum state control of ultracold NaCs molecules in an array of optical tweezers. Furthermore, we aim to utilize their diverse but accessible set of internal levels to entangle such an array of molecules through resonant dipole dipole interactions which would provide a valuable quantum resource for simulation, computation, and metrology.
