Abstract: The scalability of neutral-atom quantum computing is increasingly limited by a compiler–architecture challenge: logical circuits must be mapped onto dynamically reconfigurable atom arrays while controlling crosstalk, transport overhead, and hardware constraints. To address this problem, we present ZAP, a co-designed zoned architecture and deterministic compiler for field-programmable atom arrays. ZAP partitions the array into […]

Bridging All-Photonic and Memory-Based Quantum Repeaters

Abstract: The all-photonic quantum repeater scheme based on repeater graph states (RGSs) offers a promising approach for constructing quantum networks without relying on long-coherence-time quantum memories, which remain a significant technological challenge. Despite substantial progress in defining new schemes for generating RGSs, and in analyzing their performance for the task of secret key generation, the […]
