We present a review of quantum computation with neutral atom qubits. After an overview of
architectural options and approaches to preparing large qubit arrays we examine Rydberg …

Atoms in highly excited (Rydberg) states have a number of unique properties which make
them attractive for applications in quantum information: large dipole moments, lifetimes, and …

Dominating finite-range interactions in many-body systems can lead to intriguing self-
ordered phases of matter. For quantum magnets, Ising models with power-law interactions …

We report the direct measurement of the van der Waals interaction between two isolated,
single Rydberg atoms separated by a controlled distance of a few micrometers. Working in a …

Quantum gates and entanglement based on dipole–dipole interactions of neutral Rydberg
atoms are relevant to both fundamental physics and quantum information science. The …

We present schemes for geometric phase compensation in an adiabatic passage which can
be used for the implementation of quantum logic gates with atomic ensembles consisting of …

We review methods for coherently controlling Rydberg quantum states of atomic ensembles
using adiabatic rapid passage and stimulated Raman adiabatic passage. These methods …

In this paper we propose two theoretical schemes for implementation of quantum phase
gates by engineering the phase-sensitive dark state of two atoms subjected to Rydberg …

We study two-photon excitation of Rydberg states of atoms under stimulated adiabatic
passage with delayed laser pulses. We find that the combination of strong interaction …

We investigate the use of light assisted collisions for the deterministic preparation of
individual atoms in a microtrap. Blue detuned light is used in order to ensure that only one of …
