Although so far no single type of qubit has emerged as the front runner, Bakr and his team believe that molecular systems, while less explored than other platforms, hold particular promise.

When using molecules to study many-body physics, these advantages are expected to enable researchers to explore fascinating new quantum phases of matter in these synthetic systems.

To maintain the quantum behavior of the molecules, they are isolated in a vacuum chamber and held in an optical lattice made of standing waves of light.

It describes a property of the subatomic world in which quantum elements — whether molecules, electrons, photons, or whatever — become inextricably linked with each other no matter the distance separating them.

Other members of the Princeton team are graduate student Ravin Raj, post-doc Dr. Zoe Yan, undergraduate Sungjae Chi and theorists Alan Morningstar and Prof. David Huse.

The study, “Probing site-resolved correlations in a spin system of ultracold molecules,” by Lysander Christakis, Jason S. Rosenberg, Ravin Raj, Sungjae Chi, Alan Morningstar, David A. Huse, Zoe Z. Yan and Waseem S. Bakr was published online in the journal Nature on Feb. 1, 2023 (DOI: 10.1038/s41586-022-05558-4.
