We demonstrate a probabilistic entangling quantum gate [1] between two distant trapped ytterbium ions. The gate is implemented between the hyperfine “clock” state atomic qubits and mediated by the interference of two emitted photons carrying frequency encoded qubits [2]. The successful operation of the gate is heralded by the coincidence detection of these photons.
On average, the gate has a fidelity of 90% and a success probability of 2.2× 10−8. For one pair of input states for which we expect the antisymmetric Bell state as output, we perform full tomography of the output state and obtain a fidelity of F=0.87. We also apply this gate to teleport a quantum state between ytterbium ions separated by one meter [3].
This entangling gate together with single qubit operations is sufficient to generate large entangled cluster states for scalable quantum computing [4].
