Quantum computers are set to advance various domains of science and technology due to their ability to efficiently solve computationally hard problems, with a particular interest in combinatorial optimization problems. However, achieving a quantum advantage is still prevented by the quality and scale of the available quantum computing hardware.
Here, we present our project Rymax-One - which aims at building a quantum processor specifically designed to solve optimization problems that are intractable on classical devices. We use trapped arrays of ultracold 171Yb atoms whose level structure enables qubit realizations with long coherence times, Rydberg-mediated interactions and high-fidelity gate operations. Solving open questions on the details of the interaction and excitation scheme will yield the high fidelities that allow us realize a scalable platform for quantum processing.
