Abstract: Cluster states are known for their robustness and maximal
entanglement. They are a potentially important resource in quantum
information processing and quantum computing. We are working to create a
3D cluster state of atoms in a 3D optical lattice by employing
collisional entangling gates. I will describe the various tools and
procedures that we have demonstrated along the way to creating and
studying the novel features of these many-body entangled states.
The Physics Frontiers Centers (PFC) program supports university-based centers and institutes where the collective efforts of a larger group of individuals can enable transformational advances in the most promising research areas. The program is designed to foster major breakthroughs at the intellectual frontiers of physics by providing needed resources such as combinations of talents, skills, disciplines, and/or specialized infrastructure, not usually available to individual investigators or small groups, in an environment in which the collective efforts of the larger group can be shown to be seminal to promoting significant progress in the science and the education of students. PFCs also include creative, substantive activities aimed at enhancing education, broadening participation of traditionally underrepresented groups, and outreach to the scientific community and general public.
