Neutral-Atom Based Quantum Computing with Nuclear-Spin Qubits, Part I

We present progress toward a neutral-atom based quantum computer. Our architecture uses the nuclear spin degree of freedom in the ground states of alkaline-earth and alkaline-earth-like atoms to define a highly stable qubit with long coherence times. Building on this foundation, we implement and present progress on the various capabilities required for quantum computation, such as atom rearrangement, state-dependent readout, and gate operations.
