The establishment of a scalable scheme for quantum computing with addressable and long-lived qubits would be a scientific watershed, harnessing the laws of quantum physics to solve classically intractable problems. The design of many proposed quantum computational platforms is driven by competing needs: isolating the quantum system from the environment to prevent decoherence, and easily and accurately controlling the system with external fields. For example, neutral-atom optical-lattice architectures provide environmental isolation through the use of states that are robust against fluctuating external fields, yet external fields are essential for qubit addressing. Here we demonstrate the selection of individual qubits with external fields, despite the fact that the qubits are in field-insensitive superpositions. We use a spatially inhomogeneous external field to map selected qubits to a different field-insensitive superposition (optical MRI), minimally perturbing unselected qubits, despite the fact that the addressing field is not spatially localized. We show robust single-qubit rotations on neutral-atom qubits located at selected lattice sites. This precise coherent control is an important step forward for lattice-based neutral-atom quantum computation, and is quite generally applicable to state transfer and qubit isolation in other architectures using field-insensitive qubits.

We demonstrate accurate single-qubit control in an ensemble of atomic qubits trapped in an optical lattice. The qubits are driven with microwave radiation, and their dynamics tracked by optical probe polarimetry. Real-time diagnostics is crucial to m inimize systematic errors and optimize the performance of single-qubit gates, leading to fidelities of 0.99 for single-qubit pi rotations. We show that increased robustness to large, deliberately introduced errors can be achieved through the use of composite rotations. However, during normal operation the combination of very small intrinsic errors and additional decoherence during the longer pulse sequences precludes any significant performance gain in our current experiment.
Individual addressing of qubits is essential for scalable quantum computation. Spatial addressing allows unlimited numbers of qubits to share the same frequency, whilst enabling arbitrary parallel operations. We demonstrate addressing of long-lived $ ^{43}text{Ca}^+$ atomic clock qubits held in separate zones ($960mu$m apart) of a microfabricated surface trap with integrated microwave electrodes. Such zones could form part of a quantum CCD architecture for a large-scale quantum information processor. By coherently cancelling the microwave field in one zone we measure a ratio of Rabi frequencies between addressed and non-addressed qubits of up to 1400, from which we calculate a spin-flip probability on the qubit transition of the non-addressed ion of $1.3times 10^{-6}$. Off-resonant excitation then becomes the dominant error process, at around $5 times 10^{-3}$. It can be prevented either by working at higher magnetic field, or by polarization control of the microwave field. We implement polarization control with error $2 times 10^{-5}$, which would suffice to suppress off-resonant excitation to the $sim 10^{-9}$ level if combined with spatial addressing. Such polarization control could also enable fast microwave operations.
The non-integrable Dicke model and its integrable approximation, the Tavis-Cummings (TC) model, are studied as functions of both the coupling constant and the excitation energy. The present contribution extends the analysis presented in the previous paper by focusing on the statistical properties of the quantum fluctuations in the energy spectrum and their relation with the excited state quantum phase transitions (ESQPT). These properties are compared with the dynamics observed in the semi-classica
Fast scramblers are dynamical quantum systems that produce many-body entanglement on a timescale that grows logarithmically with the system size $N$. We propose and investigate a family of deterministic, fast scrambling quantum circuits realizable in near-term experiments with arrays of neutral atoms. We show that three experimental tools -- nearest-neighbour Rydberg interactions, global single-qubit rotations, and shuffling operations facilitated by an auxiliary tweezer array -- are sufficient to generate nonlocal interaction graphs capable of scrambling quantum information using only $O(log N)$ parallel applications of nearest-neighbor gates. These tools enable direct experimental access to fast scrambling dynamics in a highly controlled and programmable way, and can be harnessed to produce highly entangled states with varied applications.
Quantum computing has been attracting tremendous efforts in recent years. One prominent application is to perform quantum simulations of electron correlations in large molecules and solid-state materials, where orbital degrees of freedom are crucial to quantitatively model electronic properties. Electron orbitals unlike quantum spins obey crystal symmetries, making the atomic orbital in optical lattices a natural candidate to emulate electron orbitals. Here, we construct atom-orbital qubits by manipulating $s$- and $d$-orbitals of atomic Bose-Einstein condensation in an optical lattice. Noise-resilient quantum gate operations are achieved by performing holonomic quantum control, which admits geometrical protection. We find it is critical to eliminate the orbital leakage error in the system. The gate robustness is tested by varying the intensity of the laser forming the lattice. Our work opens up wide opportunities for atom-orbital based quantum information processing, of vital importance to programmable quantum simulations of multi-orbital physics in molecules and quantum materials.
