This research project is a theoretical study of the methodology by which a system of ultra-cold atomic gas confined in the double-well optical lattice and implemented in a laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) can be used as a two-qubit quantum gate. Quantum gates form a necessary component of a quantum computer. The speed, fidelity, and robustness of this gate will be investigated in collaboration with NIST experimentalists. The implementation of a working two-qubit phase gate will be another step toward the development of a practical quantum-computational device which would have major implications for internet and homeland security. The research program will advance discovery while promoting learning by involving undergraduate physics majors at Georgia Southern University in the research effort and by enabling these undergraduate to present the results of their research at national physics conferences. Broad dissemination to enhance scientific and technological understanding will be accomplished by organizing a Distinguished Lecture Series on the campus at Georgia Southern University.

该研究项目是对方法的理论研究，通过该方法，限制在双阱光学晶格中并在美国国家标准与技术研究所（NIST）实验室中实施的超冷原子气体系统可用作双量子比特量子门。 量子门是量子计算机的必要组成部分。 该门的速度、保真度和鲁棒性将与NIST实验人员合作进行研究。 实现一个工作的双量子位相位门将是朝着开发实用的量子计算设备迈出的又一步，这将对互联网和国土安全产生重大影响。该研究计划将推进发现，同时促进学习，让格鲁吉亚南方大学的本科物理专业的学生参与研究工作，并使这些本科生能够在全国物理会议上展示他们的研究成果。 将通过在格鲁吉亚南方大学校园内组织一个杰出系列讲座来广泛传播科学和技术知识。
