Schematic for implementing a SWAP gate on ground-state manifolds of two Rydberg atoms. (a) Two neutral atoms confined in microtraps with separation \(d\sim{\mu\mathrm{m}}\) interact with each other through vdW interaction with strength \(V=C_{6}/d^{6}\). (b) Schematic of laser-induced atomic transitions from ground-state manifolds \(|0\rangle \) and \(|1\rangle \) to a Rydberg state \(|r\rangle \) with modulated Rabi frequencies \(\Omega _{0}(t)=\Omega _{\mathrm{0m}}\cos (\omega _{0}t)\) and \(\Omega _{1}(t)=\Omega _{\mathrm{1m}}\cos (\omega _{1}t)\), respectively
