High-fidelity Rydberg-blockade entangling gate using shaped, analytic pulses — •Lukas Theis1, Felix Motzoi1, Frank Wilhelm1, and Mark Saffman2 — 1Theoretical Physics, Saarland University, 66123 Saarbrücken, Germany — 2Department of Physics, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Wisconsin, USA
We show that the use of shaped pulses improves the fidelity of a Rydberg-blockade two-qubit entangling gate by several orders of magnitude compared to previous protocols based on square pulses or optimal control pulses. Using analytical derivative removal by adiabatic gate (DRAG) pulses that reduce excitation of primary leakage states and an analytical method of finding the optimal Rydberg blockade, we generate Bell states with a fidelity of F>0.9999 in a 300 K environment for a gate time of only 50 ns, which is an order of magnitude faster than previous protocols. These results establish the potential of neutral atom qubits with Rydberg-blockade gates for scalable quantum computation.
