The goal of this research is to develop non-destructive, or lossless, quantum state detection methods for single trapped neutral atoms in order to realize robust neutral atom qubits. This work will directly address an important limitation in neutral atom qubit experiments, which is that quantum state detection of single atoms results in the loss of the qubit from the trap. This research will lead to increases in experimental efficiency for neutral atom systems and enable exciting new developments in the field of quantum information.This research will advance the broader field of quantum information science, which represents a new information paradigm at the cross-roads of information science and physics that may lead to revolutionary new computing technologies benefiting all of society. Ultra-cold atoms and molecules provide one of the most promising experimental platforms for advancing the state of the art in quantum information science. The results from this research may also impact other technologically important applications of cold atom research, including precision sensors for navigation and magnetometry, atomic clocks and emerging quantum technologies.

本研究的目标是开发非破坏性的，或无损的，量子态检测方法，为单个被困的中性原子，以实现强大的中性原子量子比特。这项工作将直接解决中性原子量子比特实验中的一个重要限制，即单个原子的量子态检测会导致量子比特从陷阱中丢失。这项研究将提高中性原子系统的实验效率，并使量子信息领域取得令人兴奋的新进展。这项研究将推动量子信息科学的更广泛领域，它代表了信息科学和物理学交叉路口的新信息范式，可能导致革命性的新计算技术，造福于全社会。 超冷原子和分子为推进量子信息科学的发展提供了最有前途的实验平台之一。 这项研究的结果也可能影响冷原子研究的其他重要技术应用，包括用于导航和磁力测量的精密传感器，原子钟和新兴的量子技术。
