Description
Arrays of individually trapped neutral atoms are arising as a new tool for applications ranging from quantum computing to precision spectroscopy. Using Rydberg interactions, high-fidelity quantum gates can be realized in such systems. I will report on experiments where arrays of atoms are coupled to high-finesse optical cavities, enabling fast state detection, adaptive measurements and control, and the real-time observation of individual atomic-collisions events. I will also discuss prospects and opportunities for integrating cavity QED and Rydberg systems.
