Abstract

Atom-by-atom assembly with optical tweezers enables the generation of defect-free atomic arrays with flexible geometric arrangements. Combined with controlled excitation to Rydberg states, this has become a highly versatile platform for quantum computing, simulation, and metrology. I will review these developments with a focus on two valence electron atoms: The rich level structure of such atoms enables novel cooling, control, and read-out schemes, which we have used in demonstrations of record imaging and two-qubit entanglement fidelities for neutral atoms. At the same time, this direction merges high-precision spectroscopy with single-atom control resulting in a novel type of optical clock platform. Further, we are now able to benchmark Rydberg quantum simulators, at a global fidelity level, using a recently introduced scheme based on quantum chaotic dynamics.
