-Quantum computing platforms based upon neutral atoms confined in optical tweezers have seen significant growth and success in recent years with the demonstration of high-fidelity gates, long coherence times and a route to scalability. Despite this several important challenges need to be overcome to realise a universal fault-tolerant quantum computer. Examples include (i) mid-circuit readout with negligible crosstalk for quantum error correction (ii) refilling of array defects due to loss of atoms during preparation and processing, critical for device scaling and (iii) development of high-fidelity multi-qubit gates for more efficient processing. <br><br>

-This project will contribute to the development of the next-generation architecture for neutral atom quantum computing based upon two-species Rydberg arrays. The use of two atomic species, rather than the single species employed in most experiments, enables independent control and crosstalk-free measurement of the two species, facilitating the mid-circuit qubit operations needed for quantum error correction. This project will use our established Rb-Cs tweezer experiment to produce 2D dual-species atom arrays, demonstrate controlled inter-species interactions using Rydberg Förster resonances, and address mature research topics in error correction including mid-circuit ancilla measurement.

 Single atom trapping and control with optical tweezers has become a major research theme throughout the world and many quantum startup companies are using this approach to develop platforms for quantum computation. In Durham we have an experiment that can trap single atoms of Rb and Cs in separate species-specific optical tweezers and then carefully combine them to form a molecule. The original apparatus is capable of forming up to 5 molecules in a linear array. In this project you will contribute to the construction of a second-generation apparatus aiming to produce interleaved 2D arrays of over 500 Rb and Cs atoms. You will explore combining the tweezer array with optical lattices, firstly to enhance the efficiency of producing molecules and secondly to transfer the atoms or molecules into a the lattice to study tunnelling and many-body dynamics. <br><br>
