Abstract

Implementing high-fidelity controlled two-qubit gates in dipole-dipole interacting systems, such as rare-earth-ion crystals, in hindered by spectral inhomogeneity and weak coupling. Existing method often rely on detuned pulses, making them susceptible to frequency errors and AC Stark shifts. We propose a robust resonant scheme for arbitrary controlled two-qubit gates that utilizes asymmetric excitation and pulse engineering to achieve decoupled, parallel qubit control. Simulations on rare-earth-ion ensemble qubits demonstrate gate fidelities exceeding 99% within a 170 kHz detuning range with off-resonant excitation below 0.2%. This approach offers a robust, scalable route for quantum computing in spectrally crowded systems.
