Title: Exploring Quantum Computing Frontier with Programmable Atom Arrays
Abstract: In this talk, we will discuss recent advances in realizing programmable quantum systems using neutral atom arrays excited into Rydberg states. These systems allow control over several hundred qubits in two dimensions and the exploration of quantum algorithms with encoded logical qubits and quantum error correction techniques. Examples of emerging scientific directions, in areas ranging from many-body physics and quantum chemistry to quantum gravity will be discussed.
