Illustration of two qubits in blue light with red light vertically

In this conceptual diagram of the world’s fastest two-qubit gate, two atoms, separated by a couple of micrometers, are captured by optical tweezers [red light] and manipulated by a superfast, 10-picosecond laser pulse [blue light].
