摘要
We demonstrate vertical bar W > state encoding of multiatom ensemble qubits. Using optically trapped Rb atoms, the T-2 coherence time is 2.6(3) ms for (N) over bar = 7.6 atoms and scales approximately inversely with the number of atoms. Strong Rydberg blockade between two ensemble qubits is demonstrated with a fidelity of 0.89(1), and with a fidelity of similar to 1.0 when postselected on a control ensemble excitation. These results are a significant step towards deterministic entanglement of atomic ensembles.
