Is this for implementing something akin to SRAM or registers for a future hypothetical QC or could this improve classical storage/memory somehow?

These kind of atom-like systems can be used as registers for a quantum computer. They allow you to store a qubit and apply gates to that qubit. It doesn’t make practical sense to use it to improve classical storage, although it actually can pack more information than a classical bit using “superdense coding” [0]
