SUMMARY:JILA Thesis Defense - Alec Cao
DESCRIPTION:Event Title: High-fidelity gates and quantum-enhanced metrology
  in a programmable optical clock Speaker Name:Alec Cao Abstract: In this d
 efense I will discuss experimental efforts in bringing the versatile contr
 ols of atom arrays\, a leading platform for quantum computing\, to the wor
 ld of optical atomic clocks\, the most precise measurement devices ever co
 nstructed. Using arrays of strontium atoms\, we demonstrate the highest fi
 delity single-qubit gates on an optical transition to date\, the first rea
 lization of GHZ states on a long-lived neutral-atom optical qubit\, and a 
 novel method for reducing Rydberg-induced decoherence with autoionization.
  We further demonstrate the use of GHZ states and spin-squeezed states to 
 realize entanglement-enhanced optical clock performance.\n\nhttps://localz
