CoherentManipulation ofAtomicStates inDipolePotentials usingMicro-fabricated Optical Elements
A. Lengwenus · 2005
Using neutral atomsasthecarriers ofthequbits ofquantuminformation processing requires efficient means forthe preparation, manipulation, andstorage ofqubits inscribed into atomsaswell asschemes fortheentanglement ofatoms, theimplementation oftwo-andmultiple-bit quantumgates, andtheread-out ofquantuminformation. Although neutral atomsaremoredifficult tocontrol thanions, theymight beadvantageous because ofscalability andweaker coupling to theenvironment whichmight beleading tolonger coherence times.
