Abstract

Neutral atoms can be trapped in microscopic potentials resulting from electric and magnetic fields. These microtraps might be used to build simple quantum devices, and ultimately be combined to networks for performing quantum computation. Considering quantum information applications, it is of interest to be able to perform generalized measurements on qubits. A scheme to accomplish this when the qubits are carried by neutral atoms in microtraps is suggested.
