Realizing error-corrected logical qubits is a central goal for the current development of digital quantum computers. Neutral atoms offer the opportunity to coherently shuttle atoms for realizing efficient quantum error correction based on long-range connectivity and parallel atom transport. Nevertheless, time overheads in shuttling atoms and complex control hardware pose challenges to scaling current architectures. In this talk, I will introduce our approach of using atom velocity as a new degree of freedom in neutral-atom architectures [1, 2]. Through controlled Doppler shifts, we demonstrate velocity-selective mid-circuit state preparation and measurement on moving atoms, leaving spectator atoms unaffected. Furthermore, we achieve on-the-fly local single-qubit rotations by mapping micron-scale atom displacements to the spatial phase of global control beams. Complementing these techniques with CZ entangling gates with a fidelity of 99.86(4)%, I will discuss the experimental implementation of key primitives for quantum error correction and measurement-based quantum computing. Finally, I will briefly show how the combination of these techniques with high-dimensional encoding enables efficient quantum multiparameter metrology [3].
