Creation and Control of Large scale Entangled Quantum Matter
Abstract
We will develop new strategies, architectures and methodologies to harness large scale interacting quantum matter in fully controllable many body systems. Specifically, we will take advantage of full microscopic control offered by 3D optical lattice clocks, quantum gas microscopes, arrays of optical tweezers and trapped ions, to develop an advanced quantum toolkit whose capabilities include manipulating single qubits, controlling a diverse set of interactions between multiple qubits, measuring individual qubits and collective states and precisely monitoring quantum evolution. We will use these features to push current experiments into the regime where they are able to create, preserve, manipulate and measure highly entangled quantum states in a robust and scalable way. The challenge in taking these steps requires hand in hand theoretical and experimental developments. Our team brings on board a breadth of technical skills and expertise including a very fruitful and documented experimental and theory collaborations. Working on different but complementary platforms while sharing common scientific goals will allow us to mitigate risk by balancing strengths against weaknesses in controllability, scalability, and precision. The interdisciplinarity of our scope will guarantee wide potential for knowledge transfer. Broader impacts of the generated entangled states include applications relevant to DOD missions including the engineering of ultra precise sensors, the design of advanced materials, and the development of the foundations necessary for the construction of a universal quantum computer.
