Long-range C C Φ gates via radio-frequency-induced Förster resonances

Registers of trapped neutral atoms, excited to Rydberg states to induce strong long-distance interactions, are extensively studied for direct applications in quantum computing. Here we present a C C Φ quantum phase gate protocol based on radio-frequency-induced Förster resonant interactions in the array of highly excited Rb 87 atoms. The extreme controllability of interactions provided by rf field application enables high-fidelity and robust gate performance for a wide range of parameters of the atomic system, as well as it significantly facilitates the experimental implementation of the gate protocol. Taking into account finite Rydberg states lifetimes, we achieve an average theoretical gate fidelity of 99.27 % under room-temperature conditions (improved up to 99.65 % in a cryogenic environment), thus showing the protocol compatibility with modern quantum error correction techniques.
