AtomTwin.jl: a physics-native digital twin framework for neutral-atom quantum processors
Abstract
AtomTwinjl is an open-source Julia package for developing and simulating quantum protocols, hardware configurations and building digital twins for neutral-atom quantum processors and related atomic quantum devices. AtomTwin operates between mathematical models and physical devices; modeling atoms, optical tweezers, laser fields, atomic motion, interactions, and noise processes natively from physical geometry and parameters, without requiring users to define Hamiltonians manually. The package provides hardware-level instruction sequences, high-performance solvers for coupled quantum and classical dynamics, and a ready-to-use model for ytterbium-171 atoms in an extensible framework designed to accommodate a greater variety of atomic species and hardware components in the future. This paper describes the software architecture, performance benchmarks against existing toolboxes, and a demonstrated end-to-end application: preparation of a logical Bell state in the error-detecting code with four Yb atoms in moveable tweezers.
