The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will result from the development of a scalable, universal quantum computing platform. The range of applications are broad and will expand in parallel with the development of new quantum algorithms, with initial applications including molecular simulations for the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, currently limited by the approximations necessary to make calculations tractable for classical computers. In order to perform these simulations at a scale useful for commercial applications, quantum computing must be significantly scaled. The proposed system will develop a new method to trap and control individual atoms for scaling of quantum computers.This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will develop technology for parallel, high-fidelity single- and multi-qubit gates in neutral atom quantum computers. The technology will enable neutral atoms as a platform for scalable quantum computing technology with fault-tolerant capabilities. The proposed project includes: 1) development of systems to control atomic qubits in parallel; 2) a methodology to enact high-fidelity gates; and 3) development of necessary infrastructure for a cloud-accessed quantum computer. With a previously unrealized degree of coherent control to atomic systems, the proposed system will serve as an entirely novel tool to study many-body physics, enabling new quantum simulations of new phases of matter or high-energy physics.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这项小型企业创新研究（SBIR）第二阶段项目的更广泛影响将源于开发可扩展的通用量子计算平台。应用的范围很广，将与新量子算法的开发以及最初的应用以及包括化学和药品工业的分子模拟以及当前限制的近似限制，以使经典计算机可易边的计算所需的近似值。为了在有用的商业应用程序中执行这些模拟，必须显着缩放量子计算。拟议的系统将开发一种新方法来捕获和控制量子计算机缩放的单个原子。本小型企业创新研究（SBIR）II期项目将开发用于中性原子量子计算机中的平行，高效率单一和多Qubition的技术。该技术将使中性原子作为具有耐故障功能的可扩展量子计算技术的平台。 拟议的项目包括：1）并行控制原子量子的系统； 2）制定高保真门的方法； 3）开发用于云量量子计算机的必要基础架构。 拟议的系统以前未实现的一致控制程度，将作为研究多体物理学的全新工具，实现了对物质新阶段或高能量物理学的新量子模拟。该奖项反映了NSF的法规任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识优点和广泛的范围进行评估的支持。
