Atom-atom entanglement by single-photon detection.
A scheme for entangling distant atoms is realized, as proposed in the seminal paper by [C. Cabrillo et al., Phys. Rev. A 59, 1025 (1999)]. The protocol is based on quantum interference and detection of a single photon scattered from two effectively one meter distant laser cooled and trapped atomic ions. The detection of a single photon heralds entanglement of two internal states of the trapped ...
متن کاملPhoton entanglement detection by a single atom
We use a single trapped 40Ca ion as a resonant, polarizationsensitive 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 d...
متن کاملAtom-Photon Entanglement
Entanglement is the key element for many experiments in quantum communication and information. Especially for future applications like quantum networks or the quantum repeater it is mandatory to achieve entanglement also between separated quantum processors. For this purpose, entanglement between different quantum objects like atoms and photons forms the interface between atomic quantum memorie...
متن کاملPhoton-photon entanglement with a single trapped atom.
An experiment is performed where a single rubidium atom trapped within a high-finesse optical cavity emits two independently triggered entangled photons. The entanglement is mediated by the atom and is characterized both by a Bell inequality violation of S=2.5, as well as full quantum-state tomography, resulting in a fidelity exceeding F=90%. The combination of cavity-QED and trapped atom techn...
متن کاملCarving Complex Many-Atom Entangled States by Single-Photon Detection.
We propose a versatile and efficient method to generate a broad class of complex entangled states of many atoms via the detection of a single photon. For an atomic ensemble contained in a strongly coupled optical cavity illuminated by weak single- or multifrequency light, the atom-light interaction entangles the frequency spectrum of a transmitted photon with the collective spin of the atomic e...
