By applying multiple global X(pi/2) pulses (grey blocks), in tandem with local movement shifts (same colour scale as in a ), arbitrary local rotations can be performed. We show a demonstration by rotating an array of six atoms, initially in the |0〉 = |– Z 〉 state, in parallel to the six cardinal states (|– Z 〉, |+ Z 〉, |– Y 〉, |+ Y 〉, |– X 〉 and |+ X 〉), achieving an average fidelity of 0.984(2) (blue bars) and 0.987(2) after SPAM correction (tan bars), limited by global X(pi/2) fidelity and decoherence during the time needed for movement ( Methods ).
