Rydberg interactions are now in use in many research groups for quantum information processing. I will present experiments showing the creation of entangled |W> states of ~10 atoms, and two-atom Bell states. These experiments form a basis for future scalable quantum computing. Recent ideas will be presented for long coherence qubits with doubly magic trapping (PRL 117, 150801 (2016)), higher gate fidelity with shaped analytic pulses (PRA 94, 032306 (2016)), and measurement free error correction (PRL 117, 130503 (2016)) which leverages the potential of Rydberg interactions for efficient multi-qubit gates. Rydberg interactions can also couple disparate quantum systems and we will describe progress towards a single atom - superconducting qubit interface. Finally we discuss ideas for dual coherent and dissipative control without crosstalk to proximal qubits by encoding in mutlilevel atoms.
