We demonstrate how to use feedback to control the internal states of trapped coherent ensembles of two-level atoms, and to protect a superposition state against the decoherence induced by a collective noise. Our feedback scheme is based on…
Connectivity has an essential and indispensable role in the cold atom qubit platform. Whilst the two-qubit Rydberg blockade gate recently receives rapid progress on the fidelity side, a pressing challenge is to improve the connectivity in…
