- Abstract: Rydberg-based two-qubit gate fidelities in neutral atom arrays are limited chiefly by laser intensity inhomogeneity and by detuning errors from frequency miscalibration, background-field drift, intermediate state light shift and Doppler shifts. Quantum optimal control can suppress the former, but no pulse can render a controlled-Z gate first-order insensitive to detuning. Here we show that this obstruction can be circumvented by designing Rydberg gate pulses with every leading-order detuning error relegated to single-qubit Z-rotations, which an echoed sequence removes. The resulting maximally-entangling ZZ gate has no leading-order response to arbitrary detunings on either atom, maintaining an infidelity below $10^{-3}$ within a much wider range of single-atom detunings than the time-optimal gates. We further show that a large fraction of residual error is dominated by population outside the computational subspace, which can be converted into heralded erasures. Our results significantly reduce the requirements on laser frequency stability and intensity homogeneity, field calibration and atomic temperature toward practical fault-tolerant quantum computing with neutral atoms.
