Towards a Quantum Network with Synchronized Strontium Atoms in an Optical Tweezer
POSTER
Abstract
Quantum synchronization is the quantum analog of its classical counterpart, a phenomenon describing the entrainment of self-sustained oscillators due to their interactions. In the quantum view, an atom in an optical tweezer potential can have its motional states coupled by a resonant drive between different spin levels and then can be synchronized by introducing linear gain and nonlinear dissipation between the motional states in analogy to a classical Rayleigh-van der Pol system. Different atoms can be coupled through Rydberg interactions and the abilibty to tune them results in a quantum network. In our experimental effort, we aim for the achievement of a quantum network based on synchronzation of strontium atoms in an optical tweezer. We present the workability of the experiment and its future challenges.
