Abstract

Using a high-brightness narrowband source of 40Ca+-ion-resonant entangled photon pairs at 854 nm, we teleport a qubit from the D5/2 Zeeman sub-levels of the ion onto the polarization qubit of a single photon by heralded absorption.

Photon-photon to atom-photon entanglement transfer

Summary form only given. Implementation of a quantum network with single atoms as quantum nodes and single photons as channels between the nodes requires their interfacing in receiver mode, whereby the photonic qubit is mapped onto the internal degrees of freedom of the atom [1]. Combining such a receiver interface with a source of entangled photon pairs enables the distribution of entanglement between network nodes. We implemented the heralded state-mapping protocol of [2] between a narrowband entangled-photon source and a single trapped40Ca+ion and transferred photon-photon to atom-photon entanglement.

Photon entanglement detection by a single atom

Jan Huwer, Joyee Ghosh, Nicolás Piro +3 more

We use a single trapped 40 Ca + ion as a resonant, polarization-sensitive absorber to detect and characterize the entanglement of tunable narrowband photon pairs from a spontaneous parametric down-conversion source. Single-photon absorption is marked by a quantum jump in the ion and heralded by coincident detection of the partner photon. For three polarization basis settings of the absorption and detection of the herald, we find maximum coincidences always for orthogonal polarizations. The polarization entanglement is further evidenced by tomographic reconstruction of the biphoton quantum state with an overlap fidelity of 93% with the Bell singlet state. This is an essential step toward a single-ion based quantum memory for photonic entanglement.

Emission and Absorption of Single Photons by Single Atoms

For quantum networking, we show high-rate single-mode emission of bandwidth-tunable single photons from a single ion, and heralded absorption by the ion of single photons from SPDC photon pairs. The heralded absorption preserves entanglement.
