A newly developed framework for quantifying uncertainties enhances the predictive power of analog quantum simulations.

Still, when excited to particular Rydberg states, certain energy levels between the atoms can be brought into resonance. In ...

A multi-institution team led by QSA researchers at Harvard University published a theoretical framework for simulating strongly correlated quantum systems in chemistry using Rydberg atom arrays.

Meinert and his colleagues use their tweezers to study Rydberg atoms that have electrons excited to high energy quantum states, up to 10,000 times farther away from atomic cores than normal.

“Picosecond lasers are used for cold-atom computers as they precisely match the movement timescale of Rydberg electrons,” explains Ohmori. “Other quantum computers operating on a slower ...
