Entanglement of Two Individual Neutral Atoms Using Rydberg Blockade
Entanglement of Two Individual Neutral Atoms Using Rydberg Blockade
We report the generation of entanglement between two individual 87Rb atoms in hyperfine ground states |F=1,M=1> and |F=2,M=2> which are held in two optical tweezers separated by 4 microm. Our scheme relies on the Rydberg blockade effect which prevents the simultaneous excitation of the two atoms to a Rydberg state. …
