Ivana Dimitrova is integrating micro- and nano-scale high-finesse optical cavities with atomic tweezer arrays to develop scalable next-generation quantum devices. When combined with Rydberg level excitation, such nodes could serve as quantum processing modules in a distributed quantum computing architecture. When combined with excitation to a telecom wavelength transition, such nodes could be used for long-distance quantum networking.
