Abstract
A time-dependent periodical field can be utilized to efficiently modify the Rabi coupling of system, exhibiting nontrivial dynamics. We propose a scheme to show that this feature can be utilized for speeding up the formation of dissipative steady entanglement based on the Rydberg antiblockade mechanism. When the modulation frequency is exactly equal to the central frequency of the driving field, a sufficient residence time of the two-excitation Rydberg state is allowed for an irreversible spontaneous decay onto the target state, leading to a steady entanglement with a high fidelity $\ensuremath{\sim}0.98$ and a shorter generation time $<400\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{s}$. We show that a global maximal fidelity benefits from a consistence of microwave-field coupling and spontaneous decay strengths. The scheme manifests robust insensitivities towards the imperfect initialization, the fluctuations of van der Waals interaction, and the modulation frequency. This simple approach to facilitate the generation of dissipative entangled two-qubit states may guide an experimental direction in Rydberg quantum technology and quantum information.
