%X Combining the strong, long-range interactions of cold Rydberg atoms with the controllability of trapped ions, trapped Rydberg ions provide a promising platform for scalable quantum information processing. As demonstrated in a breakthrough experiment [1], microwave dressing of Rydberg states induces permanent rotating dipole moments leading to strong interactions between highly excited ions. Due to the separation of timescales, the fast electronic dynamics of Rydberg ions decouple from the slower motional modes of the linear Coulomb crystal, which typically mediate entangling gates in ground-state ion systems. Therefore, Rydberg ions enable significantly faster gate operations. We demonstrate how the unique properties of trapped Rydberg ions can be exploited to realize fast and high-fidelity entangling gates, along with the associated challenges and strategies to overcome them. Different types of gate protocols for two- and three-qubit entangling gates with trapped Rydberg ions are presented and sources of infidelity are analyzed.
