Abstract: We report the generation of entanglement between two individual $^{87}$Rbatoms in hyperfine ground states $|F=1,M=1>$ and $|F=2,M=2>$ which are held intwo optical tweezers separated by 4 $\mu$m. Our scheme relies on the Rydbergblockade effect which prevents the simultaneous excitation of the two atoms toa Rydberg state. The entangled state is generated in about 200 ns using pulsedtwo-photon excitation. We quantify the entanglement by applying global Ramanrotations on both atoms. We measure that 61% of the initial pairs of atoms arestill present at the end of the entangling sequence. These pairs are in thetarget entangled state with a fidelity of 0.75.
