Abstract

We present a technique to implement a neutral atom quantum repeater node. We discuss how to prepare atom-photon entanglement, entangle atoms in adjacent repeater nodes, and entangle distant nodes.

Atom-Photon Entanglement in a Cavity

Tatjana Wilk, S. C. Webster, Axel Kuhn +1 more

Creating entanglement between distant nodes of a quantum network is a major task in quantum information processing. Deterministic creation of atom-photon entanglement would be a big step towards this aim since photons can travel large distances without decoherence. Entanglement swapping between two such atom-photon pairs should be a feasible way to entangle two distant atoms and thus realise a quantum repeater. Here, we show a way to achieve entanglement in a strongly coupled atom-cavity system.

Generation of Atom-Photon Entanglement with an Optically Trapped Single Atom

Zifang Xu, Chang Hoong Chow, Boon Long Ng +2 more

Distributed quantum computing requires a quantum network with robust links between physically separated quantum nodes [1]. Hybrid networks where nodes from different types of stationary qubits (such as neutral atoms or solid state defects) are linked, can be used to take advantage of the strengths of various systems. An efficient interface for fast and reliable exchange of quantum information between stationary qubits at nodes with photons, or traveling qubits, is needed for distributing entanglement between nodes. A high rate of generating and distributing light-matter entangled states will scale up the speed of computation distributed between the nodes of a network.

A quantum network with atoms and photons (QNET-AP)

Ronald E. Meyers, Patricia J. Lee, Keith S. Deacon +3 more

Enabling secure communication, unparalleled computing capabilities, and fundamental nonlocality physics exploration, the development of quantum repeaters is the key quantum information processing technology advance needed for implementing real world quantum networks beyond the laboratory environment. Currently, components exist for intra-laboratory quantum networks but no system exists for connecting distant ( 1 km ) quantum memories in the real world. We present a physics analysis of quantum repeater network designs for intracity optical fiber connections between nodes based on atomic memories and linear optics. Long distances will necessitate the use of (1) two-photon Hong-Ou-Mandel style interference between atomic ensembles for entanglement swapping, and (2) photonic qubit wavelength conversion between atomic emissions and photons at telecommunication wavelengths in fiber. We report on our experimental progress towards implementing A Quantum Network with Atoms and Photons (QNET-AP), a quantum repeater network test-bed, between the US Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Maryland (UMD).

Trapped ions are excellent quantum networking nodes, yet limited by photon transmission range. We report integration of single-photon conversion with trapped ions, allowing for extended communication range and hybrid networking with neutral-atom nodes.
