Enriching the quantum toolbox of ultracold molecules with Rydberg atoms

Abstract

We describe a quantum information architecture consisting of a hybrid array of optically-trapped molecules and atoms. This design leverages the large transition dipole moments of Rydberg atoms to mediate fast, high-fidelity gates between qubits encoded in coherent molecular degrees of freedom. Error channels of detuning, decay, pulse area noise, and leakage to other molecular states are discussed. The molecule-Rydberg interaction can also be used to enable nondestructive molecule detection and rotational state readout. We consider a specific near-term implementation of this scheme using NaCs molecules and Cs Rydberg atoms, showing that it is possible to implement 300~ns gates with a potential fidelity of $>99.9\%$.
