Generation and manipulation of Schrödinger cat states in Rydberg atom arrays

Abstract: Quantum entanglement involving coherent superpositions of macroscopically distinct states is among the most striking features of quantum theory, but its realization is challenging, since such states are extremely fragile. Using a programmable quantum simulator based on neutral atom arrays with interactions mediated by Rydberg states, we demonstrate the deterministic generation of "Schrödinger cat" states of the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) type with up to 20 qubits. Our approach is based on engineering th… Show more

“…As shown in Fig. 2d, for a specific choice of laser detuning (∆ ≈ 0.377Ω), 2φ 01 − π = φ 11 , realizing the CZ gate (1). Remarkably, this gate protocol is faster (total time 2τ ≈ 2.732π/Ω) than the traditional approach [7] of sequential local pulses (total time 4π/Ω), and offers the additional advantage of requiring only global coupling of both qubits.…”

“…Trapped neutral atoms are attractive building blocks for large scale quantum information systems. They can be readily manipulated in large numbers while maintaining excellent quantum coherence, as has been demonstrated in remarkable quantum simulation and precision measurement experiments [1,2]. Single atom initialization, addressing, and readout have been demonstrated in a variety of optical trapping platforms, and single-qubit gates have been implemented with exquisite fidelity [3][4][5].…”

“…Experimental efforts towards achieving macroscopic entanglement continue to drive significant research activity, e.g. [2][3][4][5][6][7]. For ultracold quantum gases confined to triple-well potentials, many opportunities exist for the exploration of intriguing phenomena such as transistor-like behaviours [8][9][10], coherent population transfer [11], fragmentation [12], and quantum chaos [13].…”

“…Especially, Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states can be used to outperform the standard quantum limit that classical sensors cannot surpass [12,[32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42]. There are many experimental demonstration * hakoshima-hideaki@aist.go.jp † matsuzaki.yuichiro@aist.go.jp to generate the GHZ states with several systems [12,[43][44][45].…”
