• Abstract: The amplification of quantum information carried by a single quantum excitation is a recurring challenge across diverse quantum platforms. The coupling between a single qubit and a mesoscopic ensemble of spins, for example, can be leveraged to realize non-destructive detection of the qubit state. However, realizing robust couplings between such systems is experimentally challenging and typically requires programmable quantum gates or native long-range interactions. Here, we introduce a platform that couples a single qubit, encoded in the ground-to-Rydberg transition of a control atom, to a Rydberg-dressed target ensemble of ground-state atoms trapped in an optical lattice. We show that the state of the control qubit can be coherently mapped onto the ensemble via a qubit-controlled collective phase shift. By Rydberg-dressing the ensemble, the controlled phase shift per target atom becomes independent of the number of target atoms, making the protocol intrinsically insensitive to atom-number fluctuations and atom loss, which are the dominant experimental imperfections in our system. Exploiting the collective response of up to eight target spins, we demonstrate the efficacy of the scheme by realizing non-destructive detection of a single Rydberg excitation with a state-assignment fidelity of $\mathcal{F} = 99.81^{+0.17}_{-1.47}\,\%$. Our approach demonstrates the key ingredients for high-fidelity transfer of quantum information from a single qubit to a mesoscopic ensemble, opening a route to non-destructive mid-circuit readout of Rydberg states and to efficient interfaces between single qubits and photonic modes.

  Storing quantum information requires battling quantum decoherence, which results in a loss of information over time. To achieve error-resistant quantum memory, one would like to store the information in a quantum superposition of degenerate states engineered in such a way that local sources of noise cannot change one state into another. We show that this platform also allows to detect and correct certain types of errors en route to the goal of true error-resistant quantum memory.
