Robust and fast microwave-driven quantum logic for trapped-ion qubits by Weber, MA, Gely, MF, Hanley, RK, Harty, TP, Leu, AD, Löschnauer, CM, Nadlinger, DP, Lucas, DM

“…We implement Mølmer-Sørensen two-qubit gates on ⁴³⁢Ca⁺ hyperfine clock qubits in a cryogenic ( ≈25 K) surface trap, driven by near-field microwaves. We achieve gate durations of 154 µs [with 1.0(2)% error] and 331 µs [0.5(1)% error], which approaches the performance of typical laser-driven gates. …”
