Abstract

Quantum teleportation can provide guaranteed information security to multi-partite quantum communication networks. We report photonic quantum teleportation using a practical semiconductor source of entangled light, based on a quantum dots within a light-emitting-diode.

Teleportation using a quantum dot entangled-light-emitting diode

J. Nilsson, R. M. Stevenson, K. H. A. Chan +8 more

We demonstrate for the first time teleportation mediated by electrically generated entangled photon pairs emitted by a quantum dot based entangled-light-emitting diode (ELED) [1]. Apart from being a striking manifestation of entanglement, teleportation also underpins several quantum information applications, such as the realization of near-deterministic quantum logic [2] and the formation of secure quantum networks over long distances [3].

Heterogeneous teleportation with laser and quantum light sources

R. M. Stevenson, Nilsson, J., Anthony J. Bennett +4 more

Quantum information technology is set to transform critical network security using quantum cryptography, and complex scientific and engineering simulations with quantum computing. Quantum computer nodes may be based on a variety of systems, such as linear optics, ions, or solid state architectures such as NV-centers in diamond, semiconductor quantum dots or spins in silicon. Interfacing any of these platforms with photonic qubits in secure quantum networks will require quantum teleportation protocols to transfer the information, and matter-light teleportation has for some of these systems been demonstrated. However, although it is conceivable that the input photon originates from a dissimilar source to that supplying the entangled resources, every demonstration so far of teleportation using linear optics use the same or identical sources for the input and entangled photons, often accompanied by a fourth heralding photon. Here we show that photons from fundamentally different sources can be used in the optical quantum teleportation protocol. Input photons are generated by a laser, and teleported using polarisation-entangled photon pairs electrically generated by an entangled-light-emitting diode (ELED). The sources have bandwidth differing by a factor 1000, different photon statistics and need not be precisely degenerate- but we still observe a teleportation fidelity of 0.77, beating the quantum limit by 10 standard deviations. This is a significant leap towards practical applications, such as extending the range of existing QKD systems using quantum relays and repeaters, which usually use weak coherent laser pulses for quantum information transport. The use of an ELED offers practical advantages of electrical control, and as we show erases the multi-photon character of the laser input field, thus eliminating errors if used in a quantum optics circuit.

Quantum Teleportation with Telecom Photons from Remote Quantum Emitters

Tim Strobel, Michal Vyvlečka, Ilenia Neureuther +13 more

The quest for a global quantum internet is based on the realization of a scalable network which requires quantum hardware with exceptional performance. Among them are quantum light sources providing deterministic, high brightness, high-fidelity entangled photons and quantum memories with coherence times in the millisecond range and above. To operate the network on a global scale, the quantum light source should emit at telecommunication wavelengths with minimum propagation losses. A cornerstone for the operation of such a quantum network is the demonstration of quantum teleportation. Here we realize full-photonic quantum teleportation employing one of the most promising platforms, i.e. semiconductor quantum dots, which can fulfill all the aforementioned requirements. Two remote quantum dots are used, one as a source of entangled photon pairs and the other as a single-photon source. The frequency mismatch between the triggered sources is erased using two polarization-preserving quantum frequency converters, enabling a Bell state measurement at telecommunication wavelengths. A post-selected teleportation fidelity of up to 0.721(33) is achieved, significantly above the classical limit, demonstrating successful quantum teleportation between light generated by distinct sources. These results mark a major advance for the semiconductor platform as a source of quantum light fulfilling a key requirement for a scalable quantum network. This becomes particularly relevant after the seminal breakthrough of addressing a nuclear spin in semiconductor quantum dots demonstrating long coherence times, thus fulfilling another crucial step towards a scalable quantum network.

Photonic quantum teleportation with distinct semiconductor quantum dots

Alessandro Laneve, Rinaldo Trotta

The ability to distribute quantum information between distant nodes, enabling the implementation of quantum networks, is crucial for the advancement of fundamentally-secure quantum communication and distributed quantum computing. To this purpose, nodes must be equipped with efficient sources of flying qubits, such as deterministic single photon emitters. Among them, semiconductor quantum dots, and in particular GaAs quantum dots, are promising candidates due to their outstanding features. However, these quantum dots often exhibit dissimilar emission properties, so that interfacing two distinct emitters is generally a significant challenge. Nonetheless, by implementing state-of-the-art techniques for the engineering of the emitters electronic structure together with high time-resolution detection systems, it is possible to achieve both high photon indistinguishability and high degree of entanglement. Through the combination of these methods, photonic quantum teleportation between two separate quantum dots was successfully demonstrated over a fiber and free-space quantum network laid over the Sapienza University campus.

Entanglement teleportation with photons from quantum dots: towards a solid-state based quantum network

Michele B. Rota, Francesco Basso Basset, Davide Tedeschi +1 more

Semiconductor quantum dots are currently emerging as one of the most promising sources of non-classical light on which to base future quantum networks. They can generate single photons as well as pairs of entangled photons with unprecedented brightness, indistinguishability, and degree of entanglement. These features have very recently opened up the possibility to perform advanced quantum optics protocols that were previously inaccessible to single quantum emitters. In this work, we report on two experiments that use the non-local properties of entanglement to teleport quantum states: three-photon state teleportation and four-photon entanglement teleportation. We discuss all the experimental results in light of a theoretical model that we develop to account for the non-idealities of the quantum source. The excellent agreement between theory and experiment enables a deep understanding of how each parameter of the source affects the teleportation fidelities and it pinpoints the requirements needed to overcome the classical limits. Finally, our model suggests how to further improve quantum-dot entangled-photon sources for practical quantum networks.
