Multipartite Remote Entanglement of Single Rare-earth Ions

Abstract

We develop protocols that can entangle remote, optically distinguishable qubits in a way that’s robust to optical spectral diffusion. We demonstrate bipartite and tripartite entanglement of single rare-earth ions distributed between two separate nanophotonic cavities.

Andrei Faraon, Andrei Ruskuc, Chun Ju Wu +6 more

Quantum optical networks will enable distribution of quantum entanglement at long distances, with applications including interconnects between future quantum computers and secure quantum communications. I will present our recent work on developing quantum networking components based on rare-earth ions such as single optically addressable quantum bits based on ytterbium 171 in yttrium orthovanadate, microwave to optical transducers based on erbium doped crystals coupled to microwave and optical resonators, and on-chip telecom optical quantum memories.

Towards optical quantum networks based on rare-earth ions and nanophotonics

Andrei Faraon, Andrei Ruskuc, Ioana Craiciu +4 more

Optical quantum networks for distributing entanglement between quantum machines will enable distributed quantum computing, secure communications and new sensing methods. These networks will contain quantum transducers for connecting computing qubits to travelling optical photon qubits, and quantum repeater links for distributing entanglement at long distances. In this talk I present implementations of quantum hardware for repeaters and transducers using nano-photonics and rare-earth ions, like ytterbium and erbium, exhibiting highly coherent optical and spin transitions in a solid-state environment. In particular, i discuss optically addressable single quantum bits with single shot readout based on ytterbium 171 atoms, and on-chip storage and processing of photons using erbium ensembles coupled to silicon photonics.

Andrei Faraon

In this talk I give an overview of our recent work on quantum nano-photonic devices based on rare-earth ions. The rare-earth ions exhibit excellent optical and spin coherence properties when embedded in nano-photonic devices. This enables on-chip optical quantum memories, single rare-earth-ion optically addressable quantum bits, and devices for quantum transduction. I will focus on our recent results based on ytterbium 171 in yttrium orthovanadate.

Quantum nodes made from single rare earth ions

Jörg Wrachtrup

Rare earth atoms are important as active elements in classical optical communication. Also for quantum information they turn out to be of great use owing to their outstandingly long nuclear spin lifetimes and convenient absorption wave lengths. A missing element so far was the capability to address single rare earth atoms which might be of importance for refined quantum protocols like entanglement purification etc. The talk will describe the detection of single rare earth ions as well as spin photon correlations on these systems.
