Entanglement transport and a nanophotonic interface for atoms in optical tweezers

Abstract: The realization of an efficient quantum optical interface for multi-qubit systems is an outstanding challenge in science and engineering. Using two atoms in individually-controlled optical tweezers coupled to a nanofabricated photonic crystal cavity, we demonstrate entanglement generation, fast non-destructive readout, and full quantum control of atomic qubits. The entangled state is verified in free space after being transported away from the cavity by encoding the qubits into long-lived states and using dyna… Show more

“…Entanglement transport could also find use in metrological applications such as creating distributed states for probing gravitational gradients [53]. Finally, our approach can help facilitate quantum networking between separated arrays, paving the way toward large-scale quantum information systems [29,54] and distributed quantum metrology [53,55].…”

“…Our transport protocol is optimized to suppress heating and loss by implementing cubicinterpolated atom trajectories (Methods), and is further accompanied by an 8-pulse XY8 robust dynamical decoupling sequence [28] to suppress dephasing. The resulting parity oscillations indicate that two-atom entanglement is unaffected by the transport process [20,29]. Performing this experiment as a function of movement speed shows that fidelity remains unchanged until the total separation speed becomes > 0.55 µm/µs, corresponding to the onset of atom loss (Fig.…”

“…This is problematic when Rydberg states are used for quantum logic since these states are strongly perturbed by electric fields arising from surface charges. This renders nanophotonic devices for strong atom-photon coupling [6][7][8][9] challenging to incorporate in node architectures that utilize Rydberg state operations.…”

“…One common motivation is to deliver cold atoms to a 'science chamber' benefiting from a lower vacuum pressure and/or better optical access than a 'loading chamber' where a magneto-optical trap (MOT) is produced. Transport is also required to enable the interaction of cold atomic samples with in-vacuum microscopic devices such as optical microcavities [1][2][3][4][5][6] or micromechanical resonators [7][8][9], whose size precludes the direct loading of a MOT in their vicinity.…”
