Rydberg atoms with principal quantum number n⪢ 1 have exaggerated atomic properties
including dipole-dipole interactions that scale as n 4 and radiative lifetimes that scale as n 3 …

Individual neutral atoms excited to Rydberg states are a promising platform for quantum
simulation and quantum information processing. However, experimental progress to date …

We consider light scattering off a two-dimensional (2D) dipolar array and show how it can be
tailored by properly choosing the lattice constant of the order of the incident wavelength. In …

The fundamental properties of light derive from its constituent particles—massless quanta
(photons) that do not interact with one another. However, it has long been known that the …

Highly excited Rydberg atoms have many exaggerated properties. In particular, the
interaction strength between such atoms can be varied over an enormous range. In a …

A universal quantum simulator is a controlled quantum device that reproduces the dynamics
of any other many-particle quantum system with short-range interactions. This dynamics can …

Understanding exotic forms of magnetism in quantum mechanical systems is a central goal
of modern condensed matter physics, with implications for systems ranging from high …

Blockade interactions whereby a single particle prevents the flow or excitation of other
particles provide a mechanism for control of quantum states, including entanglement of two …

The chopped random basis (CRAB) ansatz for quantum optimal control has been proven to
be a versatile tool to enable quantum technology applications such as quantum computing …
