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.

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.

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”.

Check out our new work on combining atom arrays with photonic chips on arXiv. We show atom array technology such as loading large tweezer arrays, single-shot fluorescence images, and rearrangement works in combination with photonic chips.
