Merging Metrology and Quantum Information in Strontium Tweezer Arrays
Abstract
We will use scalable optical tweezer arrays to explore a newoptical atomic clock architecture and the generation of metrologically-useful entangled states. Reaching this goal will require a stepwise approach to developing new capabilities. First, we will assess the viability of tweezer-arrays of strontium for ultraprecise metrology Ñ this endeavor promises to combine key advantages of leading metrology platforms (trapped-ions and optical lattice clocks) while also laying the ground-work for the controlled incorporation of entanglement. To this platform, we will introduce Rydberg excitations to create long-range interactions. This toolset will target increasing complexity protocols for creating entanglement that enhance clock sensitivity beyond the standard quantum limit, via analog and digital approaches. As such, we will explore how an optical atomic clock transition interface with entanglement, and whether such a marriage could ultimately inform future quantum-enhanced devices.
