Abstract

An overview is presented of qubit arrays in the form of cold neutral atoms trapped in an optical lattice. The current status and future direction of this qubit realization are discussed. A variant is considered that is based on the dipole-dipole interaction of atoms excited into Rydberg states. The results are presented of the first experiments on the observation of the dipole-dipole interaction between a small number of Rydberg atoms.
