We demonstrate how motional degrees of freedom in optical tweezers can be used as
quantum information carriers. To this end, we first implement a species-agnostic cooling …

The von Neumann theory of measurement, based on an ultimate entanglement of the
quantum observable with a classical machine followed by decoherence or collapse, does …

Atoms confined in optical tweezer arrays constitute a platform for the implementation of
quantum computers and simulators. State-dependent operations are realized by exploiting …

We present an experimental proposal for the rapid preparation of the center of mass of a
levitated particle in a macroscopic quantum state, that is a state delocalized over a length …

Although position and time have different mathematical roles in quantum mechanics, with
one being an operator and the other being a parameter, there is a space–time duality in …

We present a scheme to directly probe the Wigner function of the motional state of a neutral
atom confined in an optical trap. The proposed scheme relies on the well-established fact …

Rydberg atoms in optical lattices and tweezers is now a well-established platform for
simulating quantum spin systems. However, the role of the atoms' spatial wave function has …

We apply quantum optimal control to shape the phase-space distribution of Bose–Einstein
condensates in a one-dimensional optical lattice. By a time-dependent modulation of the …

Bosonic quantum error correction codes encode logical qubits in the Hilbert space of one or
multiple harmonic oscillators. A prominent class of bosonic codes are Gottesman-Kitaev …

In this paper, we introduce some distinct classes of entangled cat states associated to
generalized displaced Fock states. For this purpose, we use the formalism of nonlinear …
