             February 11, 2025

     Online Seminar

## Details

High-cooperativity optical cavities represent a powerful tool for advancing neutral-atom quantum computing and probing fundamental atomic physics. This seminar will present recent research from **Prof. Vladan Vuletić’s lab at MIT**, showcasing fast, nondestructive, number-resolved detection of atoms confined within a novel bow-tie optical cavity, which further enables real-time observation of individual atomic collisions. Combining this capability with adaptive feedback control, the researchers demonstrate single-atom preparation with a remarkable success rate of 92(2)%. These results underscore the potential of optical cavities for scalable quantum systems and open the door to new investigations of cold atomic collisions. arXiv:2411.12622.

The seminar will be presented **Dr. David Spierings** with **Dr. Ramon Szmuk**co-hosting the event.
