SUMMARY:Photonic Links for Rydberg Atom Arrays
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:IQC SPECIAL COLLOQUIUM - IVANA DIMITROVA\, HARVARD UNIVERSITY\n
 \nQuantum-Nano Centre\, 200 University Ave West\, Room QNC 0101 Waterloo\,
 \nON CA N2L 3G1\n\nScaling up the number of qubits available in experiment
 al systems is\none of the most significant challenges in quantum computati
 on. A\npromising path forward is to modularize the quantum processors and\
 nthen connect many processors using quantum channels\, realized using\npho
 tons and optical fibers. For Rydberg atom arrays\, one of the\nleading pl
 atforms for quantum information processing\, this could be\ndone by develo
 ping an interface for photons\, such as an optical\ncavity. In addition\, 
 an optical cavity can be used for fast\nmid-circuit readout for error dete
 ction. In this talk\, I will discuss\nrecent progress with two types of ca
 vities and their feasibility as a\nphotonic link. First\, we show coherent
  control of Rydberg qubits and\ntwo-atom entanglement as close as 130um aw
 ay from a nanophotonic\ncavity. Second\, we show fast high-fidelity qubit 
 state readout at a\nfiber Fabry Perot cavity. In addition\, a fiber cavity
  also allows for\ncavity-mediated atom-atom gates\, which could enable nov
 el quantum\nnetworking capabilities.
