GHz-clocked teleportation of time-bin qubits with a telecom C-band quantum dot

Tina Müller, Matthew Anderson, Jan Huwer +6 more

Semiconductor quantum dots are prime candidates for quantum network applications such as quantum relays, but their typical emission wavelength, polarization qubit encoding scheme and low operating frequency are incompatible with existing technologies. Our work shows that InAs/InP quantum dots driven with GHz-clocked pulses, in combination with qubit transcoding interferometers, can bridge these gaps. The demonstrated teleportation of time-bin qubits in the telecom C band even when repetition rates exceed the inverse lifetime of the dot shows the potential for integrating such devices with long-distance quantum network technologies.

Quantum teleportation using coherent emission from telecom C-band quantum dots

Tina Müller, Matthew Anderson, Jan Huwer +6 more

A practical way to link separate nodes in quantum networks is to send photons over the standard telecom fibre network. This requires sub-Poissonian photon sources in the telecom wavelength band around 1550 nm, where the photon coherence time has to be sufficient to enable the many interference-based technologies at the heart of quantum networks. Here, we show that droplet epitaxy InAs/InP quantum dots emitting in the telecom C-band can provide photons with coherence times exceeding 1 ns even under non-resonant excitation, more than a factor two longer than values reported for shorter wavelength quantum dots under similar conditions. We demonstrate that these coherence times enable near-optimal interference with a C-band laser qubit, with visibilities only limited by the quantum dot multiphoton emission. Using entangled photons, we further show teleportation of such qubits in six different bases with average fidelity reaching 88.3$\pm$4%. Beyond direct applications in long-distance quantum communication, the high degree of coherence in these quantum dots is promising for future spin based telecom quantum network applications.

Abstract A practical way to link separate nodes in quantum networks is to send photons over the standard telecom fibre network. This requires sub-Poissonian photon sources in the wavelength band around 1550 nm, with photon coherence times sufficient to enable the many interference-based technologies at the heart of quantum networks. Here, we show that droplet epitaxy InAs/InP quantum dots emitting in the telecom C-band can provide photons with coherence times exceeding 1 ns under low power non-resonant excitation, and demonstrate that these coherence times enable near-optimal interference with a C-band polarisation-encoded laser qubit, with visibilities only limited by the quantum dot multiphoton emission. Using entangled photons, we further show teleportation of such qubits in six different bases with average postselected fidelity reaching 88.3 ± 4.0%. Beyond direct applications in long-distance quantum communication, the high degree of coherence in these quantum dots is promising for future spin-based telecom quantum network applications.
