Bayesian Optimal Control of Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger States in Rydberg Lattices

Abstract

The ability to prepare nonclassical states in a robust manner is essential for quantum sensors beyond the standard quantum limit. We demonstrate that Bayesian optimal control is capable of finding control pulses that drive trapped Rydberg atoms into highly entangled Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states. The control sequences have a physically intuitive functionality based on the quasi-integrability of the Ising dynamics. They can be constructed in laboratory experiments, resulting in preparation times that scale very favorably with the system size.
