I'm a researcher in Quantum Computing and Quantum Information at Al Azhar University currently working on quantum simulation with Rydberg atoms. I previously did research collaborating with leading groups in quantum physics including work with I. Beterov and I. Ryabtsev on quantum gates and quantum phases of matter. My work focuses on developing schemes for implementing quantum gates and simulating quantum many-body systems using arrays of neutral atoms excited to Rydberg states. I'm particularly interested in using Rydberg blockade and Förster resonances to realize multi-qubit gates with high fidelity. My recent research has explored parallel implementation of CNOT gates, quantum wire-mediated coupling between remote qubits, and the generation of novel quantum phases of matter.
