Abstract

We demonstrate an entanglement swapping protocol for time-bin qubits in a fiber-based quantum network at Fermilab. We report state-of-the-art entanglement swapping visibilities of up to 92.3 ± 3.8%.

Entanglement swapping systems toward a quantum internet

Samantha I. Davis, Raju Valivarthi, Andrew Cameron +14 more

We demonstrate conditional entanglement swapping, i.e. teleportation of entanglement, between time-bin qubits at the telecommunication wavelength of 1536.4 nm with high fidelity of 87\%. Our system is deployable, utilizing modular, off-the-shelf, fiber-coupled, and electrically controlled components such as electro-optic modulators. It leverages the precise timing resolution of superconducting nanowire detectors, which are controlled and read out via a custom developed graphical user interface. The swapping process is described, interpreted, and guided using characteristic function-based analytical modeling that accounts for realistic imperfections. Our system supports quantum networking protocols, including source-independent quantum key distribution, with an estimated secret key rate of approximately 0.5 bits per sifted bit.

Long distance entanglement swapping and perspectives for a real quantum relay

Hugues de Riedmatten, I. Marcikic, M. Halder +6 more

Entanglement swapping of time-bin qubits over a distance of 1.1 km was demonstrated. The visibility of the 4-fold coincidences conditioned on a successful Bell state measurement was 75.5%/spl plusmn/5%, clearly indicating that the photons were entangled and could violate Bell inequalities (visibility of 70.7%). This latest results confirm that time-bin encoding is robust enough against several decoherence effects in optical fibers.

Quantum teleportation is essential for many quantum information technologies, including long-distance quantum networks.Using fiber-coupled devices, including state-of-the-art low-noise superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors and off-the-shelf optics, we achieve conditional quantum teleportation of time-bin qubits at the telecommunication wavelength of 1536.5 nm.We measure teleportation fidelities of ≥ 90% that are consistent with an analytical model of our system, which includes realistic imperfections.To demonstrate the compatibility of our setup with deployed quantum networks, we teleport qubits over 22 km of single-mode fiber while transmitting qubits over an additional 22 km of fiber.Our systems, which are compatible with emerging solid-state quantum devices, provide a realistic foundation for a high-fidelity quantum Internet with practical devices.

Long-distance entanglement swapping with photons from separated sources

Hugues de Riedmatten, I. Marcikic, J. A. W. van Houwelingen +3 more

We report the experimental realization of entanglement swapping over long distances in optical fibers. Two photons separated by more than $2\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{km}$ of optical fibers are entangled, although they never directly interacted. We use two pairs of time-bin entangled qubits created in spatially separated sources and carried by photons at telecommunication wavelengths. A partial Bell-state measurement is performed with one photon from each pair, which projects the two remaining photons, formerly independent onto an entangled state. A visibility high enough to infer a violation of a Bell inequality is reported, after both photons have each traveled through $1.1\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{km}$ of optical fiber.

Entanglement Distribution and Quantum Teleportation of Time-Bin Entangled Qubits Towards a Quantum Internet

Jinwoo Kim, Jiho Park, Hong‐Seok Kim +7 more

Entanglement distribution, and quantum teleportation are essential for a functional quantum network [1]. Recent developments in superconducting nano-wire single photon detectors (SNSPDs) can improve such protocols by implementing photon number resolving detection through spatial multiplexing [2] or inherent photon number resolving capabilities [3]. In this report, we demonstrate entanglement generation, distribution, and quantum teleportation for the time-bin encoding scheme, and discuss how photon number resolving can be utilized for further development of quantum networks using time-bin entangled photons.
