Description
Platforms consisting of neutral atoms individually trapped in arrays of optical tweezers have achieved important milestones in quantum simulation and quantum computation. With access to programmable Rydberg interactions, individual qubit control, long coherence times, and naturally identical qubit transitions, neutral atoms are a promising building-block for the use in future quantum machines. However, they face the same challenge as other quantum platforms in scaling the number of qubits needed to perform algorithms with a provable advantage over classical computers. An avenue toward scaling systems of neutral atoms may be to use a quantum network that connects individual systems to construct a distributed computing architecture.
