Comprehensive review of quantum computing with neutral atoms. Covers the full stack: atom trapping and arrangement in optical tweezers/lattices, qubit encoding in ground-state hyperfine levels, single-qubit gates via Raman transitions, entangling gates via Rydberg blockade, and readout via fluorescence imaging. Discusses near-term applications (optimization, simulation) and paths to fault-tolerant quantum computing.
