Abstract
Connectivity has an essential and indispensable role in the cold atom qubit platform. Whilst the two-qubit Rydberg blockade gate recently receives rapid progress on the fidelity side, a pressing challenge is to improve the connectivity in pursuit of genuine scalability, with the ultimate prospect of fully-connected cold atom qubit array. It turns out that a solid step along this direction can be made by introducing extra buffer atom to extend two-qubit Rydberg blockade gate beyond a purely nearest-neighbor two-body interaction. Through Rydberg dipole-dipole interactions, the buffer atom couples with the two qubit atoms which do not directly exert any physical influence on each other. The established method of off-resonant modulated driving is not only convenient but also lays down the groundwork for this latest development. Although the atomic linkage structure here exhibits nontrivial complications compared to previous cases of mere two-body system, the population can satisfyingly return to the ground state after the ground-Rydberg transition with properly designed modulation waveforms. It can be instantiated via one-photon and two-photon ground-Rydberg transitions in common practices. Furthermore, with buffer atom relay or similar structures, it is possible to realize two-qubit entangling gate between two far-away qubit atoms. Besides the core issue that such solutions are attainable, the representative modulation patterns are also analyzed, demonstrating the versatility of buffer-atom-mediated two-qubit gate. Put in a broader perspective, these efforts bring the cold atom qubit platform closer to the notions of wires and junctions in solid state electronics.
