Atomic Physics Seminar
Microcavity Photonic Interfaces for Neutral Atom Quantum Computing
Date: Thursday, July 10th
Time: 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Place: Chamberlin 5310
Speaker: Dr. Brandon Grinkemeyer, Harvard University
Abstract: Neutral atom qubits trapped in optical tweezers are a promising platform for quantum information processing, with control over several hundred qubits already demonstrated. Further scaling could be significantly enhanced by coupling these systems to optical interfaces, enabling quantum networking and fast, non-demolition readout for quantum error correction. In this talk, I will discuss our progress toward developing a photonic interconnect for large-scale neutral atom quantum processors. Specifically, I will present the strong coupling of single atoms to fiber Fabry-Perot cavities and how this interaction can be harnessed for quantum information processing. Additionally, I will introduce novel, scalable fabrication techniques for high-finesse microcavities and ongoing efforts to integrate them with atom arrays.
