Benchmarking of a high-fidelity mixed-species entangling gate
2020
Logic gates between different species of qubit are a powerful resource for quantum computing, networking, clocks, and spectroscopy. We implement a two-qubit gate between a $^{43}\mathrm{Ca}^+\,$ hyperfine qubit and a $^{88}\mathrm{Sr}^+\,$ Zeeman qubit. For this pair of ion species, the S--P optical transitions are close enough that a single laser of wavelength $402\,\mathrm{nm}$ can be used to drive the gate, but sufficiently well separated to give good spectral isolation and low photon scattering errors. We characterize the gate by full randomized benchmarking, gate set tomography and Bell state analysis. The latter method gives a fidelity of $99.8(1)\%$, comparable to that of the best same-species gates.
