Multi-qubit gates and Schrödinger cat states in an optical clock

Researchers from CESQ, JILA, University of Colorado Boulder and National Institute of Standards and Technology, have have developed a new type of optical atomic clock, using quantum entanglement among strontium atoms to achieve unprecedented precision. This breakthrough could significantly impact quantum computing and precision sensing i the future. For more information, see Nature v.634, p.315–320 (2024) and a press release.
