Abstract: We will discuss the recent advances involving programmable, coherent manipulation of quantum many-body systems using neutral atom arrays excited into Rydberg states, allowing the control over several hundred qubits in two dimensions. These systems can be used for realization and probing of exotic quantum phases of matter and exploration of their non-equilibrium dynamics. Examples include the realization and probing of quantum spin liquid states - the exotic topological states of matter have thus far evaded direct experimental detection and  the observation of quantum speedup for solving optimization problems will be described. In addition, the realization of novel quantum processing architecture based on dynamically reconfigurable entanglement and the steps towards quantum error correction will be discussed. Finally, we will discuss the most recent experimental advances and prospects for using these techniques for realization of large-scale quantum processor.

    • Note: Parking for these events can be found in the basement of the CASE building (the Euclid Parking Garage).
