Systems and methods relate to selectively arranging a plurality of qubits into a spatial structure to encode a quantum computing problem. Exemplary arrangement techniques can be applied to encode various quantum computing problems. The plurality of qubits can be driven according to various driving techniques into a final state. The final state can be measured to identify an exact or approximate solution to the quantum computing problem.

Quantum computing for combinatorial optimization problems using programmable atom arrays

A quantum computer uses interactions between atomic ensembles mediated by an optical cavity mode to perform quantum computations and simulations. Using the cavity mode as a bus enables all-to-all coupling and execution of non-local gates between any pair of qubits. Encoding logical qubits as collective excitations in ensembles of atoms enhances the coupling to the cavity mode and reduces the experimental difficulty of initial trap loading. By using dark-state transfers via the cavity mode to enact gates between pairs of qubits, the gates become insensitive to the number of atoms within each collective excitation, making it possible to prepare an array of qubits through Poissonian loading without feedback.

All-to-all coupled quantum computing with atomic ensembles in an optical cavity

In addition, refinements can be made, such as providing high fidelity and coherent control of the assembled array of atoms. Exemplary problems can be solved using the systems and methods for arrangement and control of atoms.

A method of generating uniform large-scale optical focus arrays (LOT As) with a phase spatial light modulator (SLM) includes identifying and removing undesired phase rotation in the iterative Fourier transform algorithm (IFTA), thereby producing computer-generated holograms of highly uniform LOT As using a reduced number of iterations as compared to a weighted Gerchberg-Saxton algorithm. The method also enables a faster compensation of optical system-induced LOT A intensity inhomogeneity than the conventional IFTA.

The approach can utilize quantum correlations in such many-body quantum spin systems stabilized by strong interactions and periodic driving for reduction of noise. As an example, an exemplary protocol to perform Floquet enhanced measurements of an oscillating magnetic field in Ising-interacting spin systems is provided. These approaches allow for circumvention of the interaction-induced decoherence associated with high density spin ensembles and is robust to the presence of noise and imperfections. The protocol is applicable to nanoscale magnetic sensing and other precision measurements.
