A quantum network requires information transfer between distant quantum computers, which would enable distributed quantum information processing and quantum communication. One model for such a network is based on the probabilistic measurement of two photons, each entangled with a distant atom or atomic ensemble, where the atoms represent quantum computing nodes. A second, deterministic model transfers information directly from a first atom onto a cavity photon, which carries it over an optical channel to a second atom; a prototype with neutral atoms has recently been demonstrated. In both cases, the central challenge is to find an efficient transfer process that preserves the coherence of the quantum state. Here, following the second scheme, we map the quantum state of a single ion onto a single photon within an optical cavity. Using an ion allows us to prepare the initial quantum state in a deterministic way, while the cavity enables high-efficiency photon generation. The mapping process is time-independent, allowing us to characterize the interplay between efficiency and fidelity. As the techniques for coherent manipulation and storage of multiple ions at a single quantum node are well established, this process offers a promising route toward networks between ion-based quantum computers.
Quantum teleportation provides a disembodied way to transfer an unknown quantum state from one quantum system to another. However, all teleportation experiments to date are limited to cases where the target quantum system contains no prior quantum in
We use the recently introduced concept of information flux in a many-body register in order to give an alternative viewpoint on quantum state transfer in linear chains of many spins.
Interconnecting well-functioning, scalable stationary qubits and photonic qubits could substantially advance quantum communication applications and serve to link future quantum processors. Here, we present two protocols for transferring the state of
We demonstrate several building blocks for an ion-photon interface based on a trapped Ca ion in an optical cavity. We identify a favorable experimental configuration and measure system parameters, including relative motion of the trapped ion and the
We propose a decoherence protected protocol for sending single photon quantum states through depolarizing channels. This protocol is implemented via an approximate quantum adder engineered through spontaneous parametric down converters, and shows hig
