Abstract

We experimentally demonstrate interferometer-type guiding structures for neutral atoms and novel structures for the realization of registers of atomic qubits based on dipole potentials created by micro-fabricated optical systems.

Quantum Computing with Neutral Atoms

Mikio Nakahara

It is possible to trap neutral atoms in a periodic potential of various dimensions created by laser beams so that each potential minimum traps exactly a single atom. Then each atom works as a qubit, which has the following advantages over other realizations.

Interferometer-Type Structures for Guided Atoms

Rainer Dumke, T. Müther, Michael Volk +2 more

We experimentally demonstrate interferometer-type guiding structures for neutral atoms based on dipole potentials created by microfabricated optical systems. As a central element we use an array of atom waveguides being formed by focusing a red-detuned laser beam with an array of cylindrical microlenses. Combining two of these arrays, we realize X-shaped beam splitters and more complex systems like the geometries for Mach-Zehnder and Michelson-type interferometers for atoms.

Quantum information processing with atom chips

Jörg Schmiedmayer, R. Folman, Tommaso Calarco

Summary form only given. Neutral-atom manipulation using integrated micro-devices is a new extremely promising experimental approach to QIPC. In devices we call Atom Chips, atoms are trapped or move in microscopic potentials above a surface. The traps, guides, are formed by potentials created using electric, magnetic and light fields which originate in (microscopic) structures built on the surface of the Atom Chip. To execute a QIPC toolbox we plan to implement quantum optics techniques using integrated micro devices fabricated on the Atom Chip. We describe our recent experimental progress towards this goal, demonstrating the realisation of traps and guides for neutral atoms on a nanofabricated chip.

"Quantum engineering with neutral atoms one by one"

Dieter Meschede

Neutral atoms trapped in optical dipole traps can be used to store and process quantum information. We describe experimental methods to manipulate external and internal degrees of freedom of a small number of neutral atoms with access to every individual atom.
