Fast Readout Research

Research into cavity-enhanced atom detection for high-speed, high-fidelity qubit measurement.

Research Focus​

This research thrust develops cavity-enhanced photon collection and collective readout techniques to enable rapid, non-destructive measurement of neutral atom qubits essential for real-time quantum error correction.

Selected Publications​

Superradiant Readout of Ultracold Atomic Gases​

Physical Review Letters (2023)

Collective emission from atomic ensembles coupled to optical cavities enables rapid state readout, with enhanced photon collection efficiency through superradiant enhancement.

Cavity-Enhanced Single-Atom Detection for Quantum Information​

Research into high-finesse optical cavities integrated with optical tweezer arrays for single-shot atom detection with high fidelity and minimal heating.

Technical Background​

Fast, high-fidelity readout is critical for quantum error correction, which requires mid-circuit measurements to detect and correct errors in real time. Cavity quantum electrodynamics provides a path to enhanced photon collection efficiency, while collective readout techniques exploit superradiant emission from multiple atoms.
