We train a model atom to recognize hand-written digits between 0 and 9, employing intense light--matter interaction as a computational resource. For training, individual images of hand-written digits in the range 0-9 are converted into…
Individually trapped Rydberg atoms show significant promise as a platform for scalable quantum simulation and for development of programmable quantum computers. In particular, the Rydberg blockade effect can be used to facilitate both fast…
We optimize the pulse shape and polarization of time-dependent electric fields to maximize the production of electron-positron pairs via strong field quantum electrodynamics processes. The pulse is parametrized in Fourier space by a…

Pulses to steer the time evolution of quantum systems can be designed with optimal control theory. In most cases it is the coherent processes that can be controlled and one optimizes the time evolution towards a target unitary process,…
Rydberg atom arrays are a leading platform for quantum computing and simulation, combining strong interactions with highly coherent operations and flexible geometries. However, the achievable fidelities are limited by the finite lifetime of…

Globally optimal solution describing a phase conjugated field of Raman scattering on the resonant $B\gets X$ transition of iodine $I_2$ is studied. Maximum optical coherence is found as a top eigenvalue problem. A reversibility theorem has…
The process of dynamic state estimation (filtering) based on point process observations is in general intractable. Numerical sampling techniques are often practically useful, but lead to limited conceptual insight about optimal…

In this work, we investigate how and to which extent a quantum system can be driven along a prescribed path in Hilbert space by a suitably shaped laser pulse. To calculate the optimal, i.e., the variationally best pulse, a properly defined…
We characterize the set of optimal protocols for two-qubit entangling gates through a mechanism analysis based on quantum pathways, which allows us to compare and rank the different solutions. As an example of a flexible platform with a…
Laser cooling and trapping of atomic matter waves in optical potentials has enabled rapid progress in quantum science, particularly when combined with Rydberg excitation of the atoms to induce long-range interactions. Here, we propose the…
We present some approaches to the computation of ultra-fast laser pulses capable of selectively breaking molecular bonds. The calculations are based on a mixed quantum-classical description: The electrons are treated quantum mechanically…
We show that the use of shaped pulses improves the fidelity of a Rydberg blockade two-qubit entangling gate by several orders of magnitude compared to previous protocols based on square pulses or optimal control pulses. Using analytical…
We present optimal control protocols to prepare different many-body quantum states of Rydberg atoms in optical lattices. Specifically, we show how to prepare highly ordered many-body ground states, GHZ states as well as some superposition…
Stability achieved by large angular momentum is ubiquitous in nature, with examples ranging from classical mechanics, over optics and chemistry, to nuclear physics. In atoms, angular momentum can protect excited electronic orbitals from…
Consider the following communication scenario. An encoder observes a stochastic process and causally decides when and what to transmit about it, under a constraint on the expected number of bits transmitted per second. A decoder uses the…
We develop an hybrid quantum-classical algorithm to solve an optimal population transfer problem for a molecule subject to a laser pulse. The evolution of the molecular wavefunction under the laser pulse is simulated on a quantum computer,…
High energy single- to few-cycle terahertz pulses enable the exploration of the frontier of science, such as electron acceleration, strong-field physics, and spectroscopy. One important method of generating such terahertz pulses is to use…
