Abstract

A quantum communication node with high quality quantum memories and photonic interfaces capable of quantum logic operations provide a technology platform for realizing quantum repeaters. We will discuss a viable implementation in trapped ion systems.

Quantum Repeaters Based on Two-Species Trapped Ions

Sreraman Muralidharan, Siddhartha Santra, Liang Jiang +2 more

Trapped ions technology is the most promising candidate for construction of the large-scale quantum computers, quantum repeaters and quantum networks. Quantum networks require matter qubits with fast quantum gates and measurement, efficient coupling to photons and low gate error rates. There was growing progress in two-species ion trapping [1], where one ion acts as a communication qubit that can be efficiently entangled to photon and the other one used as excellent quantum memories allowing efficient local processing. However, the photonic interface needed for communication ions must not affect the state of the quantum memory ion. In a recent experimental breakthrough, the isolation between quantum memory ion (171Yb+) and communication ion (138Ba+) was achieved and a quantum state transfer between the ions has been demonstrated.

Comparison of ion trap geometries with integrated optical cavities for effective ion-photon coupling

Nina Podoliak, Hiroki Takahashi, Matthias Keller +1 more

The realisation of efficient ion-photon quantum interfaces is an essential step towards developing operational quantum information networks. Individual trapped ions have been shown as promising candidates for quantum information processing nodes, while effective ion manipulation and photonic links between nodes can be realised by deterministic coupling of ions to optical cavities. However, integrating optical cavities into ion traps remains a challenge as the trapping potential is affected by the presence of any dielectric or conductor.

Interfacing trapped ion qubits and quantum integrated photonic circuits for quantum networking

Kathy-Anne Soderberg

The ability to distribute entanglement across a quantum network may lead to new capabilities like teleporting information over a difficult-to-access quantum channel or higher resolution quantum sensors. However, there are many outstanding challenges to realizing such a quantum network. One of these challenges is how to interface disparate quantum technologies effectively and efficiently. Ultimately a quantum network will be used to connect different types of devices, much like the current internet does today, and this requires one to seamlessly connect qubit technologies operating in vastly different environments. This talk will present results on interfacing trapped ion qubits to quantum integrated photonic circuits and discuss challenges related to interfacing trapped ion qubits with superconducting qubits.
