• Abstract: We numerically optimized a scheme for a neutral atom Rydberg blockade symmetric controlled-Z (CZ) gate to increase its robustness to variations in the Rabi frequency. This gate scheme uses analytically defined phase profiles of the laser pulse and demonstrates increased robustness to variations in the Rabi frequency almost by an order of magnitude compared to previous proposals. We demonstrate the applicability of our gate protocol to individual addressing in Rydberg excitation, taking into account the asymmetry of Rabi frequencies for two atoms that are individually excited by tightly focused laser beams. This allows for reducing the effects of residual thermal motion of trapped atoms and beam pointing instability on gate fidelities. We investigated the performance of our gate protocol for single-photon and two-photon Rydberg excitation schemes and showed its advantages for individual addressing at finite temperatures of trapped atoms.
