Description
Programmable arrays of hundreds of Rydberg atoms have recently enabled the exploration of remarkable phenomena in many-body quantum physics in recent years. Those devices now operate in regimes which are very hard to simulate classically. In addition, the development of high-fidelity quantum gates are making them promising architectures for the implementation of quantum circuits. Being able to faithfully simulate these devices for intermediate sizes represents an important challenge. Studying and exploring the outcome of quantum programs with optimized CPU and GPU-enabled simulations allows us to prototype and devise new procedures for our quantum processor. In this talk, I will present several advances in quantum control and numerical simulations applied to neutral-atom devices. By using powerful numerical simulations describing the precise dynamics of our processors, we are able to push our understanding of the system and devise noise-robust entangling protocols.
