Abstract

A system architecture for achieving long-distance, high-fidelity teleportation and long-duration quantum storage is proposed. It uses polarization-entangled photons and trapped-atom quantum memories and is compatible with transmission over standard telecommunication fibre. An extension of this architecture permits long-distance transmission and storage of Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states.

Quantum Error Models and Error Mitigation for Long-Distance Teleportation Architectures

Jeffrey H. Shapiro, Joe Aung, Brent J. Yen

A quantum communication architecture is being developed for long-distance, high-fidelity qubit teleportation. It uses an ultrabright narrowband source of polarization-entangled photons, plus trapped-atom quantum memories, and it is compatible with long-distance transmission over standard telecommunication fiber. This paper reports error models for the preceding teleportation architecture, and for an extension thereto which enables long-distance transmission and storage of Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states. The use of quantum error correction or entanglement purification to improve the performance of these quantum communication architectures is also discussed.

Error models for long-distance Qubit teleportation

Brent J. Yen, Jeffrey H. Shapiro

A recent proposal for realizing long-distance, high-fidelity qubit teleportation is reviewed. This quantum communication architecture relies on an ultrabright source of polarization-entangled photons plus a pair of trapped-atom quantum memories, and it is compatible with long-distance transmission over standard telecommunication fiber. Models are developed for assessing the effects of amplitude, phase, and frequency errors in the entanglement source, as well as fiber loss and imperfect polarization restoration, on the throughput and fidelity of the system.

Quantum teleportation from a telecom-wavelength photon to a solid-state quantum memory

Quantum teleportation [1] is a cornerstone of quantum information science due to its essential role in several important tasks such as the long-distance transmission of quantum information using quantum repeaters [2–4]. In this context, a challenge of paramount importance is the distribution of entanglement between remote nodes, and to use this entanglement as a resource for long-distance light-to-matter quantum teleportation. We report on the demonstration of quantum teleportation of the polarization state of a telecom-wavelength photon onto the state of a solid-state quantum memory. Entanglement is established between a rare-earth-ion doped crystal storing a single photon that is polarization-entangled with a flying telecom-wavelength photon [5, 6]. The latter is jointly measured, using highly efficient superconducting WSi nanowire single-photon detectors [7], with another flying qubit carrying the polarization state to be teleported, which heralds the teleportation. The fidelity of the polarization state of the photon retrieved from the memory is shown to be greater than the maximum fidelity achievable without entanglement, even when the combined distances travelled by the two flying qubits is 25 km of standard optical fibre. This light-to-matter teleportation channel paves the way towards long-distance implementations of quantum networks with solid-state quantum memories.
