Abstract

The realization of fault-tolerant quantum computation hinges on the ability to execute deep quantum circuits while maintaining gate fidelities consistently above error-correction thresholds. Although neutral-atom arrays have recently demonstrated high-fidelity two-qubit gates and early-stage logical quantum processors, sustaining such high performance across deep, repetitive circuits remains a formidable challenge due to cumulative motional heating and atom loss. Here we demonstrate a sustainable neutral-atom framework that overcomes these limitations by integrating a suite of hardware-efficient mid-circuit operations. We report a two-qubit controlled logic gate with a raw fidelity of 99.60(1)%, which is further increased to a fidelity of 99.81(1)% via non-destructive erasure detection. Crucially, by implementing in-circuit Raman sideband cooling and qubit re-initialization, we demonstrate that gate fidelities can be maintained at the 99.8% level across multiple operational rounds without observable degradation. By actively managing the internal and motional entropy of the system mid-stream, our in-situ refreshable architecture provides a critical pathway for executing the repeated syndrome-extraction cycles required for large-scale, continuous quantum error correction.
