Abstract

We model and experimentally verify the quantum dynamics of small-scale Rydberg-atom quantum simulators, or entangled Rydberg atom clusters, using Lindblad equations with control parameters including spontaneous emission, stochastic atom loss, and laser phase noise. © 2019 The Author(s)

Analysis of coherent dynamics of a Rydberg-atom quantum simulator

Hikaru Tamura, Tomotake Yamakoshi, Ken’ichi Nakagawa

Many-body dynamics of small Rydberg-atom systems in the presence of physical limitations and imperfections are investigated experimentally and compared to numerical results from a dissipative model. This study provides useful information for scaling up a quantum simulator within the Rydberg-atom platform.

Driven dissipative dynamics of an interacting Rydberg gas

Cristiano Simonelli, Ricardo Gutiérrez, Matteo Archimi +6 more

One of the most fascinating and challenging topics of recent years is many- body physics. Owing to the large number of components of real physi- cal systems an analytical approach or numerical solutions are typically not practicable. However, an experimental approach to this problem is possible thanks to an unprecedented level of matter control on the atomic scale. In our setup we use atoms excited to high-lying energy states, called Rydberg atoms, which have peculiar properties like the extremely long lifetime and strong interactions. These experimental features make a cold ensem- ble of Rydberg atoms a very controllable example of a strongly interacting many-body system and provide a promising framework for quantum simulation.

High-Fidelity Control and Entanglement of Rydberg-Atom Qubits

Harry Levine, Alexander Keesling, Ahmed Omran +7 more

Individual neutral atoms excited to Rydberg states are a promising platform for quantum simulation and quantum information processing. However, experimental progress to date has been limited by short coherence times and relatively low gate fidelities associated with such Rydberg excitations. We report progress towards high-fidelity quantum control of Rydberg-atom qubits. Enabled by a reduction in laser phase noise, our approach yields a significant improvement in coherence properties of individual qubits. We further show that this high-fidelity control extends to the multi-particle case by preparing a two-atom entangled state with a fidelity exceeding 0.97(3), and extending its lifetime with a two-atom dynamical decoupling protocol. These advances open up new prospects for scalable quantum simulation and quantum computation with neutral atoms.

Many-Body Physics with Rydberg Atoms: Quantum Simulation and Non-equilibrium Dynamics

Zhengyang Bai, Cheng Chen, Fan Yang +1 more

Rydberg atoms, characterized by their strong and long-range dipole-dipole interactions, provide a versatile platform for exploring intriguing collective and many-body effects. Recently, the experimental realization of these effects in dense ensembles and reconfigurable atomic arrays has attracted significant interest, particularly for applications in quantum simulations and non-equilibrium physics. This review focuses on such recent development, discussing the theoretical foundations of the interactions between Rydberg atoms and the ensuing many-body physics, while providing a critical survey of experimental techniques for their precise manipulation and observation. We further discuss recent breakthroughs in leveraging Rydberg collective effects to probe novel many-body phases and non-equilibrium dynamics of these systems. By synthesizing theoretical insights with experimental milestones, we provide a comprehensive perspective on this rapidly evolving field and its transformative potential for future quantum technologies.

Correlated dynamics of three-body Rydberg superatoms

Wen-Jie Bai, Dong Yan, Haiyan Han +2 more

Owing to the long lifetime of Rydberg atom, easy to operate and easy to control the interaction between Rydberg atoms, Rydberg atom has attracted considerable attention in quantum information and quantum optics fields. Specially, the anti-blockade effect, as a physical resource, can be used to implement various tasks in quantum information processing. Based on the rigid dipole blockade, an ensemble of two-level Rydberg atoms trapped in three magneto-optical traps can be regarded as a superatom. Based on the superatom model, the in-phase and anti-phase dynamics of the three-body Rydberg superatoms are studied by adjusting the numbers of atoms, and the W state and two kinds of maximal entangled states are generated simultaneously. Our work has great potential applications in coherent manipulation and quantum information processing.The numerical simulations are performed based on the superatom model and thereby the formidable obstacle that the Hilbert space dimension grows exponentially with the particle number increasing can be completely removed. As a result, the quantum control and quantum entanglement can be achieved from the single-quanta level to the mesoscopic level.
