Two-dimensional arrays of individual Rydberg atoms for quantum simulation of spin Hamiltonians

Thierry Lahaye, Sylvain de Léséleuc, Daniel Barreda +2 more

In our experiments, we generate arrays of up to 50 optical tweezers arranged in arbitrary two-dimensional geometries, each containing a single cold atom, and separated by distances of a few micrometers (Fig. 1). This is achieved by active sorting of atoms in larger arrays that are initially loaded stochastically [1]. By exciting the atoms to Rydberg states (with principal quantum numbers in the range 50-100), we can induce strong, tunable dipolar interactions between the atoms [2].

Stabilization of bulk quantum orders in finite Rydberg atom arrays

Yash M. Lokare, Matthew J. Coley-O'Rourke

Arrays of ultracold neutral atoms, also known as Rydberg atom arrays, are rapidly developing into a powerful and versatile platform for quantum simulation. However, theoretical predictions about the bulk quantum phases of matter present in these systems have often diverged from experimental realizations on finite-sized arrays due to the strong effects of the boundaries. Here we propose a general, experimentally straightforward strategy to mitigate the effects of the boundaries and thus enable finite-sized arrays to stabilize bulk-like quantum order. Our scheme makes use of the properties of the ubiquitous disordered phase in Rydberg systems, driving the boundaries into an unbiased set of configurations that depend on the bulk physics. We numerically demonstrate the efficacy of this protocol in one- and two-dimensional systems on both ordered and critical phases.

Quantum simulation and computing with arrays of single Rydberg atoms

Thierry Lahaye, Daniel Barredo

Over the last years, a new platform for quantum technologies has emerged. It is based on arrays of single atoms arranged with almost arbitrary geometries, and made to interact by exciting them to Rydberg states. Compared with other platforms, such as trapped ions or superconducting qubits, atom arrays are quite competitive for applications such as quantum simulation of magnetism. We describe the experimental methods used in this field, and illustrate recent applications.
