Combining cold atoms with ultrafast lasers promises to revolutionize quantum computing by providing unprecedented speed and scalability. An experimental setup in which cold atoms are...

In our lab, we study quantum computing and simulation using arrays of individually-trapped rubidium-87 atoms. Each atom is independently trapped in vacuum in an optical tweezer, …

Our project aims to implement for the first time with cold atoms a protocol called Deterministic Quantum Computation with one qubit, or DCQ1. This protocol is designed to solve some …

Sep 8, 2017 · Ultracold atom–based quantum simulators have already been used to probe quantum magnetism, to realize and detect topological quantum matter, and to study quantum …

Mar 7, 2025 · Researchers developed a photonic system that traps cold atoms with chip-scale optics, making quantum technology more compact and accessible. This breakthrough could …

Mar 5, 2025 · UC Santa Barbara researchers are working to move cold atom quantum experiments and applications from the laboratory tabletop to chip-based systems, opening …

Sep 5, 2023 · Cold atoms in an optical cavity have been widely used for quantum simulations of many-body physics, where the quantum control capability has been advancing rapidly in …

Jul 10, 2025 · Meanwhile, researchers pursuing other approaches raced ahead, assembling functional, albeit noisy, quantum computers with dozens of qubits consisting of tiny …

We invent quantum technologies based on individual atoms manipulated with laser beams. For example, lasers can cool atoms to absolute zero temperature, catch and move them with …

In recent years, the "cold (neutral) atom" modality, which uses individual atoms as qubits, has been attracting attention from industry, academia, and governments around the world as a …
