Abstract

We propose an adiabatic protocol for implementing a controlled-phase gate CZθ_{\theta} with continuous θ\theta of neutral atoms through a symmetrical two-photon excitation process via the second resonance line, 6P6P in 87^{87}Rb, with a single-temporal-modulation-coupling of the ground state and intermediate state. Relying on different adiabatic paths, the phase factor θ\theta of CZθ_{\theta} gate can be accumulated on the logic qubit state 11|11\rangle alone by calibrating the shape of the temporal pulse where strict zero amplitudes at the start and end of the pulse are not needed. For a wide range of θ\theta, we can obtain the fidelity of CZθ_{\theta} gate over 99.7%99.7\% in less than 1 μ1~\mus, in the presence of spontaneous emission from intermediate and Rydberg states. And in particular for θ=π\theta=\pi, we benchmark the performance of the CZ gate by taking into account various experimental imperfections, such as Doppler shifts, fluctuation of Rydberg-Rydberg interaction strength, inhomogeneous Rabi frequency, and noise of driving fields, etc, and show that the predicted fidelity is able to maintain at about 98.4%98.4\% after correcting the measurement error. This gate protocol provides a robustness against the fluctuation of pulse amplitude and a flexible way for adjusting the entangling phase, which may contribute to the experimental implementation of near-term noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) computation and algorithm with neutral-atom systems.
