ABSTRACT

We are in the era of noisy intermediate-scale quantum computing (NISQ), where fault‑tolerant quantum devices are not yet available due to noise and decoherence. Our aim is to create a Rydberg single‑atom array to further probe information loss during decoherence and to explore alternative pathways for preserving information in robust quantum technologies. We will present our latest experimental progress on achieving a cold magneto‑optical trap (MOT).
