Summary

A cesium array reported 99.970 percent single-qubit and 99.76 percent raw two-qubit gate fidelity in a cryogenic environment.

Single-photon coupling to a Rydberg P state avoided the scattering and light shifts of a two-photon path. The measured error was dominated by atomic motion, while modeled Rydberg-decay contribution stayed below three in ten thousand.

Why it matters

A cesium array reported 99.970 percent single-qubit and 99.76 percent raw two-qubit gate fidelity in a cryogenic environment.
