Abstract: We report the achievement of single-qubit gates with sub-part-per-million error rates, in a trapped-ion 43^{43}Ca+^{+} hyperfine clock qubit. We explore the speed/fidelity trade-off for gate times 4.4tg35 μ4.4\leq t_{g}\leq35~\mus, and benchmark a minimum error of 1.5(4)×1071.5(4) \times 10^{-7}. Gate calibration errors are suppressed to <108< 10^{-8}, leaving qubit decoherence (T270T_{2}\approx 70 s), leakage and measurement as the dominant error contributions. The ion is held above a microfabricated surface-electrode trap which incorporates a chip-integrated microwave resonator for electronic qubit control; the trap is operated at room temperature without magnetic shielding.
