Abstract: Dynamically reconfigurable architectures for quantum information and simulation are provided. A plurality of neutral atoms is provided. Each neutral atom is disposed in a corresponding optical trap. Each of the plurality of neutral atoms is prepared in a mF=0 clock state. A pair of neutral atoms of the plurality of neutral atoms is entangled by directing a laser pulse thereto. The laser pulse is configured to transition the pair of neutral atoms through a Rydberg state. The optical trap corresponding to at least one neutral atom of the pair is adiabatically moved, thereby moving one atom of the pair relative to the other atom of the pair without destroying entanglement of the pair.
