• Abstract: We propose a controlled-Z gate scheme for Rydberg atoms based on level-crossing-free echoing rapid adiabatic population transfer. We design antisymmetric Rabi frequency pulses and symmetric detuning pulses, enabling the system to completely avoid level-crossing points throughout the evolution, and the dynamical phase is naturally eliminated by the time-reversal symmetry of the double-pulse sequence. We incorporate dissipative effects through the Lindblad master equation. The numerical simulation yields a two-qubit CZ gate fidelity of 0.9999. When the Rabi-frequency fluctuation is within $\pm 2\%$, and the detuning offset is within $\pm 1\%$, the fidelity can still remain above 0.999. Under the same dissipative model, the three-qubit CCZ gate achieves a fidelity of 0.999. When a single-parameter fluctuation does not exceed $\pm 3\%$, the fidelity is always higher than 0.997. Our scheme requires no laser phase jumps or fast switching operations. The zero-area pulse structure suppresses first-order intensity noise, and the symmetric double-pulse sequence avoids spatially resolved laser switching, making it suitable for parallel gate operations in large-scale neutral-atom arrays.

  We propose a rapid adiabatic passage scheme for achieving a high-fidelity controlled-Z (CZ) gate on a neutral atom Rydberg platform. We predict a CZ gate with fidelity over 0.9995 using akali-atom parameters, and a CCZ gate with fidelity exceeding 0.999. The proposed scheme, remarkably robust to variations in driving fields and realistic decoherence effects, holds promise for future quantum information processing applications.
