QRydDemo – A quantum computer demonstrator with Rydberg atoms

I will present the status of our endeavor to set up a quantum computer demonstrator with Strontium Rydberg atoms. We will investigate a so far unexplored fine-structure qubit encoded in the ³P₀-³P₂ states of ⁸⁸Sr. This qubit promises rapid single- and two-qubit gate times and features a triple-magic wavelength, for which the qubit states and the Rydberg state experience the same trapping potential. We work towards combining this qubit with an optical tweezer architecture allowing for shuffling operations within the qubit coherence time. Besides the status of setting up the experiment, I will briefly talk about the software stacks developed to allow access to the future quantum computer.
