Abstract: Rapid progress with quantum state control and entanglement on demand in arrays of individual atomic qubits is shortening the time scale to reach useful quantum computing. Neutral atoms can be entangled at short length scales via Rydberg interactions, at medium length scales with physical transport, and at long scales via photons. I will discuss these approaches, including recent progress towards remote, photon mediated entanglement with multiple atomic species. Atoms are also the building blocks of the worlds best clocks and sensors. Combining sensor atoms with entangled atomic qubits may lead to new measurement capabilities that surpass classical approaches.
