Unmet Need: Stable atomic arrays for controllable signaling in quantum computers
Quantum computing has the capability to solve problems that are too complex for modern day computer systems. However, there are no commercial quantum computer systems due to challenges in loading and stabilizing qubit arrays. These qubit arrays are created by loading atoms into specific formations for controllable signal transduction. This loading procedure is often unstable and inefficient, and there is an unmet need for technology to streamline this process to improve efficiency, stability, and scalability of quantum computing hardware.
The Technology: Improved loading of strontium atoms for more efficient qubit arrays
This technology describes a two-step cooling process that loads strontium atoms into optical tweezer arrays. Strontium is a promising element for these atomic arrays due to its lack of nuclear spin and abundant high flux isotope configuration. This improved loading of strontium has the potential to accelerate quantum computing hardware development.
