| Popis: | Entanglement generation in trapped-ion systems has relied thus far on two distinct but related geometric phase gate techniques: M\o{}lmer-S\o{}rensen and light-shift gates. We recently proposed a variant of the light-shift scheme where the qubit levels are separated by an optical frequency [B. C. Sawyer and K. R. Brown, Phys. Rev. A 103, 022427 (2021)]. Here we report an experimental demonstration of this entangling gate using a pair of ${^{40}\mathrm{Ca}}^{+}$ ions in a cryogenic surface-electrode ion trap and a commercial, high-power, 532 nm Nd:YAG laser. Generating a Bell state in $35\text{ }\text{ }\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{s}$, we directly measure an infidelity of $6(3)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}4}$ without subtraction of experimental errors. The 532 nm gate laser wavelength suppresses intrinsic photon scattering error to $\ensuremath{\sim}1\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}5}$. |
