Alkaline-Earth-Metal Atoms as Few-Qubit Quantum Registers
Alkaline-Earth-Metal Atoms as Few-Qubit Quantum Registers
We propose and analyze a novel approach to quantum information processing, in which multiple qubits can be encoded and manipulated using electronic and nuclear degrees of freedom associated with individual alkaline-earth-metal atoms trapped in an optical lattice. Specifically, we describe how the qubits within each register can be individually manipulated …
