WQCG: Rydberg atoms: between quantum sensing and quantum computing

Speaker: Michał Parniak, Centre for Quantum Optical Technologies (Centre of New Technologies) and Associate Professor at the Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw

Abstract

Strong interactions of Rydberg atoms allow them to be the basis of both quantum sensors and a new generation of quantum computers. I will show the most recent results of our team at the University of Warsaw,  where we develop novel quantum sensors and try to enhance them using error-pre-correcting operations based on quantum gates. Apart from this scientific progress, I will discuss our perspectives on developing our systems into both practical quantum sensors for space applications and into neutral-atom quantum computing platforms.
