Abstract
We analytically derive the fundamental lower bound for the preparation fidelity of a maximally-entangled (Bell) state of two atoms involving Rydberg-state interactions. This bound represents the minimum achievable error $E \geq ( 1 + π/2 ) Γ/B$ due to spontaneous decay $Γ$ of the Rydberg states and their finite interaction strength $B$. Using quantum optimal control methods, we identify laser pulses for preparing a maximally-entangled state of a pair of atomic qubits with an error only $1\%$ above the derived fundamental bound.
