Abstract

We report our progress towards performing memory-assisted entanglement swapping using deployed fiber in a five-node 259 km network testbed. Our quantum repeater testbed is envisioned to push beyond the PLOB boundary of repeaterless networks.

Supporting long distance entanglement distribution with room temperature quantum repeaters

Noël L. Goddard

Distributing entanglement over long distances is a core challenge of Quantum Communications. Quantum repeaters, hosting entanglement swapping protocols, have been proposed as a viable solution, though they have yet to be realized commercially. Basic research groups have demonstrated memory-assisted entanglement swapping using NV diamond centers or cold atomic vapor memories. Qunnect is building a product suite to support entanglement swapping based on warm atomic vapor. While the engineering of these systems is challenging, the elimination of extreme cooling and vacuum support provides numerous advantages for network scalability. I will discuss our progress to date and upcoming fiber testbed demonstrations.

Observations on a 158km-long quantum internet testbed connecting room-temperature quantum memories

Eden V. Figueroa

First-generation long-distance quantum repeater networks require quantum memories capable of interfacing with telecom photons to perform quantum-interference-mediated entanglement generation operations. The ability to demonstrate these interconnections using real-life fiber connections in a long-distance setting is paramount to realize a scalable quantum internet.

Entanglement swapping across a five-node relay in a multiplexed quantum-classical network

Andrew R. Cameron, Jordan M. Thomas, Alexandru Macridin +9 more

Quantum networks are resources for scaling quantum computers and distributed sensing technologies while offering post-quantum security benefits. Teleporting non-classical resources like entanglement, via so called entanglement swapping, is essential for networks in particular overcoming rate-loss limits via quantum repeaters. Deploying these systems on real infrastructure will likely require multiplexing photonic qubits into fibers carrying 'classical' light encoding standard Internet communications and control plane signals for multi-node quantum protocols. Here, we report the first demonstration of entanglement swapping and conventional communications operating over the same fibers. Entanglement is swapped across a five-node quantum relay topology connected by four long-distance fibers, each populated with classical data signals. Time-bin entangled photons in the C-band are multiplexed alongside C-band classical signals using dense-wavelength division multiplexing, introducing noise photons generated by high-power classical light. We experimentally and theoretically characterize the trade-off between quantum fidelity and Raman noise photons. Entanglement swapping is demonstrated over a maximum fiber length of 40 km (four 10-km fibers) while simultaneously transmitting 10-Gbps classical data through all fibers. These results represent a significant advancement in the demonstrated complexity of coexisting quantum and classical networks and provide a roadmap for achieving the widespread deployment of advanced quantum technologies.
