Scalable Quantum Computing Infrastructure Using Neutral Atom Technology

digitalTestedTRL 5

Imagine building a computer where the bits are tiny atoms floating in a vacuum, held in place by laser beams. Instead of using wires, these atoms talk to each other using special high-energy states to solve problems. This project is building the hardware and software to make these atom-based computers larger and more reliable for real-world use.
