Topological Pumping of Ultracold Atoms for Quantum Information Science

Quantum information provides a unifying theoretical concept for condensed matter physics, quantum chemistry, information processing, cosmology, and other natural sciences. Processing quantum information is an emerging experimental frontier, but decoherence and scale limit our ability to gain a practical quantum advantage (noisy intermediate-scale quantum, 'NISQ' era). Ultracold atoms in optical lattices exhibit excellent prerequisites for building highly coherent and scalable quantum hardware, as evidenced by their use in optical clocks and atom interferometers. Yet, quantum processing in optical lattices has so far been limited by restricted programmability and qubit connectivity. PumpQIN…
