Rydberg Atoms and Quantum Information
We are investigating the use of highly excited (Rydberg) atoms for the development of conditional logic gates for neutral atom quantum computation. The dipole-dipole interaction between two Rydberg atoms should allow for a very fast gate with high fidelity. This work is in collaboration with the neutral atom quantum information processing project at NIST, funded by the DTO.
We are also collaborating with the Condensed Matter Theory Center on problems related to using neutral atoms trapped in optical lattices for quantum information processing.
