About Neutral Atom Technology
Neutral atom quantum computers use arrays of individual atoms (typically rubidium or cesium) trapped in optical tweezers — tightly focused laser beams. Qubits are encoded in atomic hyperfine states. Entangling gates use Rydberg excitations, where atoms are temporarily promoted to highly excited states with strong long-range interactions. Arrays can be dynamically reconfigured in 2D or 3D.
Large qubit counts (100–10,000+ atoms in reconfigurable arrays), programmable connectivity via atom repositioning, and operation at room temperature (atoms laser-cooled to µK). Naturally suited to analog quantum simulation.
Gate fidelities are lower than trapped-ion systems, coherence times are shorter, and mid-circuit measurement and classical feedback are still maturing. Rydberg blockade errors limit 2-qubit gate fidelity.
