Our work on dual-species Rydberg arrays has been published in Nature Physics! Congratulations to the whole team! In the work we show the first Rydberg interactions between two atomic in an atomic array. There are multiple interaction regimes that can accessed and we demonstrate a strongly enhanced dual-species interaction via a Förster resonance. Further, we use the interaction to demonstrate a two-qubit gate and do quantum non-demolition measurements useing one atomic species as an auxiliary.
The BernienLab spent one week in Innsbruck to get to know their future environment. It was a fantastic week full of scientific exchange with the quantum community in Innsbruck, as well as social exchange. A picturesque hiking trip and a taste of the local cuisine rounded off a great trip. We will certainly come again!
The BernienLab posts their latest work on the dual-species platform on the arXiv. In this work we introduce Rydberg interactions between the cesium and rubidium atoms in our arrays and explore new interaction and dynamic regimes that are unique to this approach.
Hannes has was awarded the Gordon Memorial Speakership at CLEO 2024. The award pays tribute to Jim Gordon's numerous high-impact contributions to quantum electronics and photonics
The Klung Wilhemly Science Award is awarded biannually to a outstanding early-career German physicists. This year Hannes received the award for his “pioneering contributions to the development of quantum technology platforms based on Rydberg atoms as well as color centers in diamond”.
In a collaborative effort spanning three countries the Bernien group, Tittel group and Borregaard group propose a new hybrid quantum repeater architecture that could drastically improve the speed in a quantum network. The architecture pairs the multimode capabilities of a rare-earth ion doped quantum memory with individual atoms coupled to nanophotonic crystal cavities for the rapid generation of entangled photon pairs.
At the first Quantum Networks Workshop by AWS Noah Glachman presented his work on the integration of atomic arrays with a telecom photonic chip. His poster drew a lot of attention and won him the Best Poster Award. Congratulations to Noah!
