Title: Exploring A New Frontier of Quantum Science

 

Abstract:

We will discuss recent developments at a new scientific interface between quantum optics, many-body physics and quantum information science. Examples include quantum control of large arrays of individually trapped, cold Rydberg atom arrays to realize programmable quantum simulators  and  coherent  manipulation of strongly interacting atom-like impurities in diamond nanophotonic systems to create efficient light-matter interfaces.  We will discuss how these  systems and techniques can be used for creating and probing new states of matter, realizing large scale entangled states, testing new quantum algorithms,  realizing new approaches for quantum communication and developing new applications such as  nanoscale sensing in biology and material science.
