Deterministic entanglement of two neutral atoms via Rydberg blockade

Abstract

We demonstrate the first deterministic entanglement of two individually addressed neutral atoms using a Rydberg blockade mediated controlled-NOT gate. Parity oscillation measurements reveal an entanglement fidelity of $F=0.58\pm 0.04$, which is above the entanglement threshold of $F=0.5$, without any correction for atom loss, and $F=0.71\pm 0.05$ after correcting for background collisional losses. The fidelity results are shown to be in good agreement with a detailed error model.
