Motivated by far-reaching applications ranging from quantum simulations of complex processes in physics and chemistry to quantum information processing1, a broad effort is currently underway to build large-scale programmable quantum systems. Such systems provide insights into strongly correlated quantum matter2-6, while at the same time enabling new methods for computation7-10 and metrology11. Here we demonstrate a programmable quantum simulator based on deterministically prepared two…

Probing many-body dynamics on a 51-atom quantum simulator
TLDR
This work demonstrates a method for creating controlled many-body quantum matter that combines deterministically prepared, reconfigurable arrays of individually trapped cold atoms with strong, coherent interactions enabled by excitation to Rydberg states, and realizes a programmable Ising-type quantum spin model with tunable interactions and system sizes of up to 51 qubits.

Generation and manipulation of Schrödinger cat states in Rydberg atom arrays
TLDR
Entanglement of up to 20 qubits is achieved in superconducting and trapped atom platforms and “Schrödinger cat” states of the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) type with up to20 qubits are created, establishing important ingredients for quantum information processing and quantum metrology.
Observation of a many-body dynamical phase transition with a 53-qubit quantum simulator

Here, a quantum simulator composed of up to 53 qubits is used to study non-equilibrium dynamics in the transverse-field Ising model with long-range interactions, enabling the dynamical phase transition to be probed directly and revealing computationally intractable features that rely on the long- range interactions and high connectivity between qubits.

A Rydberg atom quantum simulator with programmable interactions is used to experimentally verify the quantum Kibble–Zurek mechanism through the growth of spatial correlations during quantum phase transitions, and is subsequently used to measure the critical exponents associated with chiral clock models.
