Abstract

We demonstrate entanglement between the vibrations of two macroscopic, spatially-separated diamonds at room temperature by means of off-resonant Raman scattering of ultrashort optical pulses and quantum erasure.

Entangling Macroscopic Diamonds at Room Temperature

K. C. Lee, Michael Sprague, Benjamin Sussman +9 more

Quantum entanglement in the motion of macroscopic solid bodies has implications both for quantum technologies and foundational studies of the boundary between the quantum and classical worlds. Entanglement is usually fragile in room-temperature solids, owing to strong interactions both internally and with the noisy environment. We generated motional entanglement between vibrational states of two spatially separated, millimeter-sized diamonds at room temperature. By measuring strong nonclassical correlations between Raman-scattered photons, we showed that the quantum state of the diamonds has positive concurrence with 98% probability. Our results show that entanglement can persist in the classical context of moving macroscopic solids in ambient conditions.

Quantum memories and large-scale quantum coherence based on Raman interactions

J. Nunn, Michael Sprague, Patrick Michelberger +8 more

Applied research into quantum technologies and fundamental research into the foundations of quantum mechanics run hand in hand, since our understanding of quantum correlations both advances, and is advanced by, our ability to control large quantum systems. The off-resonant Raman interaction of light with material systems provides a powerful tool both for quantum information processing, and for accessing macroscopic non-classical states of matter. We describe a recent demonstration of entanglement between the motion of separated diamond crystals at room temperature, and the implementation of quantum memories in cesium vapour that can store and retrieve photons on demand with a time-bandwidth product exceeding 2000, both based on Raman scattering.

Entangling macroscopic diamonds at room temperature: bounds on the CSL parameters

Sebastiano Belli, Riccarda Bonsignori, G. D’Auria +5 more

A recent experiment announced on Science [1] succeeded in detecting entanglement between two macroscopic specks of diamonds, separated by a macroscopic distance, at room temperature. This impressive results is a further confirmation of the validity of quantum theory in (at least parts of) the mesoscopic and macroscopic domain, and poses a challenge to collpase models, which predict a violation of the quantum superposition principle, which is the bigger the larger the system. We analyze the experiment in the light of such models. We will show that the bounds placed by experimental data are weaker than those coming from mater-wave interferometry and non-interferometric tests of collapse models.
