Quantum Computer Hardware: Quantum Gates Based on Rydberg Atoms

The goal of this project is to experimentally realize logical gates for a quantum computer based on ultra-cold ytterbium-Rydberg atoms and to evaluate their fidelity. Rydberg atoms promise excellent properties for quantum computer gate structures. This project particularly aims to explore the idea of dynamically moving the qubits in laser-tweezer traps to enable more complex logical elements. While the BMBF-funded Rymax-One project focuses on implementing global optimization algorithms, this project aims to evaluate universal qubit gates in the context of a universal quantum computer. The project is closely integrated with the theoretically oriented projects on atom-based quantum computers within HQC, as well as with other experimental projects.
