Purely intuitively, the 'scarrig' seems to limit the state space for this 51-qubit quantum system.
So it is not clear why the authors believe this development will lead to better quantum computers.
- selimthegrim 8y agoThe state space is constrained because the Rydberg blockade forces it to grow in a certain manner like the Fibonacci sequence. Lukin and Ho come up with a toy model that shows some features but it’s not clear it captures all the physics. The authors make this statement because people want passive (not optimal control) ways of preserving quantum information that aren’t (quantum) integrable. (I can go into detail on the definitions here if you want.) NB: my department chair was Rick Heller’s grad student and we’ve been discussing these preprints here just like everyone else
