CAVITY TWEEZERS FOR QUANTUM INFORMATION SCIENCE AND SIMULATION
Abstract
We propose to explore a new paradigm in cavity quantum electrodynamics, harnessing micro-scale mode waists in low-finesse optical resonators to reach similar performance to large-waist ultra-highfinesse resonators. By working with small waists, optically addressing and measuring individual atoms in ion chains and tweezer arrays should become possible, and high collection efficiency would allow direct mapping of atomic-ionic quantum states to flying qubits. The reduced finesse requirements ease stabilization and materials challenges associated with resonator integration in quantum science experiments, making cavities powerful day-to-day tools and not just a specialized resource for experts.
