The Quantum Länd
We are working on the realization of fully functional quantum computers and simulators based on individually controlled strontium atoms. Our group operates two quantum computers, QRydDemo and CiRQus, on which we explore new concepts for computation with optically trapped atoms in Rydberg states. This includes investigations into fine structure qubits and circular Rydberg qubits, as well as novel architectures for dynamic atomic arrangements. In addition, we are developing a complete software stack that enables external users to access the systems via a web interface.
Research
- QRydDemo quantum computer demonstrator combines the fine structure qubit with a novel qubit array architecture, enabling the realization of more than 500 dynamically connected qubits.
- CiRQus quantum simulator explores a novel Rydberg qubit encoded in long lived circular states. The goal is to overcome fundamental limitations in gate fidelities and coherence times in the neutral atom platform, which are so far determined by the lifetime of the Rydberg state.
Activities
Illustration of our neutral atom qubit array showing an atom pair excited into Rydberg states to implement a two qubit gate.
Illustration of the CiRQus machine used to study long lived circular Rydberg atoms for quantum simulations.
The Quantum Länd software stack was developed to provide users with access to our machines. It already enables the execution of algorithms on our quantum computer emulator through a user friendly drag and drop interface for designing quantum circuits.
