Entangling The Lattice Clock With Rydberg Gates, Frank J. Greenhalgh
Entangling The Lattice Clock With Rydberg Gates, Frank J. Greenhalgh
Festival of Communities: UG Symposium (Posters)
Knowledge of the exact time is critical to many engineers and planetary experts; unfortunately atomic clocks can't have infinite accuracy by Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. To attain accuracy past the limit we have achieved today, we will design a critical improvement of the atomic clock via the Rydberg gates method. Rydberg gates synchronize the atomic states so that they are more sensitive which will greatly increase the accuracy. This project will introduce fast acting Rydberg gates to an existing atomic clock layout. The Rydberg gates will allow the clock to entangle atoms in less time, thus decreasing decoherence effects on the …

“Magic” Trapping Of Rydberg States For Quantum Information, Muir Morrison, Andrei Derevianko
Festival of Communities: UG Symposium (Posters)
Recent experiments using neutral atoms to manipulate quantum information show promise for constructing a large-scale, practical quantum computer. Achieving such a quantum computer will require less destructive optical traps for the atoms. Using theoretical and computational tools, we consider the feasibility of one possible “magic” trap for rubidium. Preliminary results suggest such trapping may be possible, but more accurate calculations are necessary to reach definitive conclusion.
