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 …

The technique of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP), which allows efficient and
selective population transfer between quantum states without suffering loss due to …

Arrays of optically trapped atoms excited to Rydberg states have recently emerged as a
competitive physical platform for quantum simulation and computing, where high-fidelity …

We present a review of quantum computation with neutral atom qubits. After an overview of
architectural options and approaches to preparing large qubit arrays we examine Rydberg …

Modern optical techniques allow one to accurately control light using atoms and to
manipulate atoms using light. In this Colloquium the author reviews several ideas indicating …

Quantum computing and quantum simulation can be implemented by concatenation of one-
and two-qubit gates and interactions. For most physical implementations, however, it may be …

Quantum gates and entanglement based on dipole–dipole interactions of neutral Rydberg
atoms are relevant to both fundamental physics and quantum information science. The …

We propose a physical realization of quantum cellular automata (QCA) using arrays of
ultracold atoms excited to Rydberg states. The key ingredient is the use of programmable …

We present an efficient method for producing N particle entangled states using Rydberg
blockade interactions. Optical excitation of Rydberg states that interact weakly, yet have a …

The family of n-bit Toffoli gates, with the two-bit Toffoli gate as the figurehead, are of great
interest in quantum information as they can be used as universal gates and in quantum error …
