We suggest a regular method of achieving an extremely long lifetime of a collective singly excited state in a generic small-size ensemble of N identical atoms. The decay rate Gamma_N of such a `superdark state can be as small as Gamma_N propto Gamma(r/lambda)^{2(N-1)} (Gamma is the radiative decay rate of an individual atom, r and lambda are the system size and the wavelength of the radiation, respectively), i.e., considerably smaller than in any of the systems suggested up to now. The method is based on a special fine tuning of the atomic Hamiltonian: namely, on a proper position-dependent adjustment of atomic transition frequencies. So chosen set of the control parameters is sufficient to ensure the minimum of the spontaneous decay rate of the engineered state in a generic ensemble of atoms (`qubits).

We use the resonant dipole-dipole interaction between Rydberg atoms and a periodic external microwave field to engineer XXZ spin Hamiltonians with tunable anisotropies. The atoms are placed in 1D and 2D arrays of optical tweezers, allowing us to stud y iconic situations in spin physics, such as the implementation of the Heisenberg model in square arrays, and the study of spin transport in 1D. We first benchmark the Hamiltonian engineering for two atoms, and then demonstrate the freezing of the magnetization on an initially magnetized 2D array. Finally, we explore the dynamics of 1D domain wall systems with both periodic and open boundary conditions. We systematically compare our data with numerical simulations and assess the residual limitations of the technique as well as routes for improvements. The geometrical versatility of the platform, combined with the flexibility of the simulated Hamiltonians, opens exciting prospects in the field of quantum simulation, quantum information processing and quantum sensing.
The calculation of excited state energies of electronic structure Hamiltonians has many important applications, such as the calculation of optical spectra and reaction rates. While low-depth quantum algorithms, such as the variational quantum eigenva lue solver (VQE), have been used to determine ground state energies, methods for calculating excited states currently involve the implementation of high-depth controlled-unitaries or a large number of additional samples. Here we show how overlap estimation can be used to deflate eigenstates once they are found, enabling the calculation of excited state energies and their degeneracies. We propose an implementation that requires the same number of qubits as VQE and at most twice the circuit depth. Our method is robust to control errors, is compatible with error-mitigation strategies and can be implemented on near-term quantum computers.
One-dimensional subwavelength atom arrays display multiply-excited subradiant eigenstates which are reminiscent of free fermions. In this Letter, we show that such free-fermion eigenstates appear in case of a quadratic dispersion relation of the band of singly-excited states, by demonstrating that near the band-edge, Hamiltonians of the long-range resonant dipole-dipole interactions can be approximated by a nearest-neighbour-tunneling model diagonalized by Jordan-Wigner fermions. The universal mechanism for this phenomenon implies that the free-fermion ansatz extends to states with finite decay rates and we propose schemes for their observation, exploiting a physical transfer process between sub- and super-radiant free-fermion eigenstates, and by angular coincidences in the emission from a laser driven atomic array.
We report the experimental realization of squeezed quantum states of light, tailored for new applications in quantum communication and metrology. Squeezed states in a broad Fourier frequency band down to 1 Hz has been observed for the first time. Non classical properties of light in such a low frequency band is required for high efficiency quantum information storage in electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) media. The states observed also cover the frequency band of ultra-high precision laser interferometers for gravitational wave detection and can be used to reach the regime of quantum non-demolition interferometry. And furthermore, they cover the frequencies of motions of heavily macroscopic objects and might therefore support the attempts to observe entanglement in our macroscopic world.

We investigate several aspects of realizing quantum computation using entangled polar molecules in pendular states. Quantum algorithms typically start from a product state |00...0> and we show that up to a negligible error, the ground states of polar molecule arrays can be considered as the unentangled qubit basis state |00...0>. This state can be prepared by simply allowing the system to reach thermal equilibrium at low temperature (<1 mK). We also evaluate entanglement, characterized by the concurrence of pendular state qubits in dipole arrays as governed by the external electric field, dipole-dipole coupling and number N of molecules in the array. In the parameter regime that we consider for quantum computing, we find that qubit entanglement is modest, typically no greater than 0.0001, confirming the negligible entanglement in the ground state. We discuss methods for realizing quantum computation in the gate model, measurement based model, instantaneous quantum polynomial time circuits and the adiabatic model using polar molecules in pendular states.
