The development of scalable, high-fidelity qubits is a key ongoing research challenge in quantum information science, with neutral atoms trapped in optical lattices being a promising candidate. Here, we present spectroscopy of a new Raman qubit using long-lived metastable states in Sr. This architecture enables fast single- and two-qubit gates. We coherently transfer the atoms from the ground state to the metastable 3P2 state and couple this state to the 3P0 state using a two-photon Raman transition. We demonstrate high-fidelity Rabi oscillations of atoms trapped in an optical lattice and study the coherence times in our system. This work establishes metastable Sr as a promising candidate for realizing quantum computing.
