Abstract

We use electronic microwave control methods to implement addressed single-qubit gates with high speed and fidelity, for 43Ca+^{43}\text{Ca}^{+} hyperfine "atomic clock" qubits in a cryogenic (100K) surface trap. For a single qubit, we benchmark an error of 1.51.5 ×\times 10610^{-6} per Clifford gate (implemented using 600 ns600~\text{ns} π/2\pi/2-pulses). For two qubits in the same trap zone (ion separation 5 μm5~\mu\text{m}), we use a spatial microwave field gradient, combined with an efficient 4-pulse scheme, to implement independent addressed gates. Parallel randomized benchmarking on both qubits yields an average error 3.43.4 ×\times 10510^{-5} per addressed π/2\pi/2-gate. The scheme scales theoretically to larger numbers of qubits in a single register.
