Non-destructive optical read-out and manipulation of circular Rydberg atoms
Scientific news
Researchers have developed a hybrid quantum computing platform based on Rydberg atoms. It combines highly stable qubits with long lifetimes and auxiliary atoms that can be easily controlled and measured optically. This approach enables local manipulation and measurement of qubits without disturbing them, paving the way for longer and more efficient quantum simulations.
The present study was carried out in the following CNRS laboratory:
- Laboratoire Kastler Brossel (LKB, CNRS/Collège de France/ENS-PSL/Sorbonne Université)
