Hybrid Quantum Repeaters with Ensemble-based Quantum Memories and Single-spin Photon Transducers

Fenglei Gu, Shankar G Menon, David Maier +5

Reliable quantum communication over hundreds of kilometers is a daunting yet necessary requirement for a quantum internet. To overcome photon loss, the deployment of quantum repeat…

Quadratic Zeeman Spectral Diffusion of Thulium Ion Population in a Yttrium Gallium Garnet Crystal

Jacob H. Davidson, Antariksha Das, Nir Alfasi +3

The creation of well understood structures using spectral hole burning is an important task in the use of technologies based on rare earth ion doped crystals. We apply a series of…

Long-Range QKD without Trusted Nodes is Not Possible with Current Technology

Bruno Huttner, Romain Alléaume, Eleni Diamanti +11

A recently published patent (https://www.ipo.gov.uk/p-ipsum/Case/PublicationNumber/GB2590064) has claimed the development of a novel quantum key distribution protocol purporting to…

Entanglement swapping and quantum correlations via Elegant Joint Measurements

Cen-Xiao Huang, Xiao-Min Hu, Yu Guo +8

We use hyper-entanglement to experimentally realize deterministic entanglement swapping based on quantum Elegant Joint Measurements. These are joint projections of two qubits onto…

Learning entanglement breakdown as a phase transition by confusion

M. A. Gavreev, A. S. Mastiukova, E. O. Kiktenko +1

Quantum technologies require methods for preparing and manipulating entangled multiparticle states. However, the problem of determining whether a given quantum state is entangled o…

Testing real quantum theory in an optical quantum network

Zheng-Da Li, Ya-Li Mao, Mirjam Weilenmann +12

Quantum theory is commonly formulated in complex Hilbert spaces. However, the question of whether complex numbers need to be given a fundamental role in the theory has been debated…

Measurement of the Thulium Ion Spin Hamiltonian Within a Yttrium Gallium Garnet Host Crystal

Jacob H. Davidson, Philip J. T. Woodburn, Aaron D. Marsh +7

We characterize the magnetic properties for thulium ion energy levels in the YGaO (Tm:YGG) lattice with the goal to improve decoherence and reduce line-width broaden…

A long-lived solid-state optical quantum memory for high-rate quantum repeaters

Mohsen Falamarzi Askarani, Antariksha Das, Jacob H. Davidson +8

We argue that long optical storage times are required to establish entanglement at high rates over large distances using memory-based quantum repeaters. Triggered by this conclusio…

Non-Local Boxes for Networks

Jean-Daniel Bancal, Nicolas Gisin

Nonlocal boxes are conceptual tools that capture the essence of the phenomenon of quantum non-locality, central to modern quantum theory and quantum technologies. We introduce netw…

The relativity of indeterminacy

Flavio Del Santo, Nicolas Gisin

A long-standing tradition, largely present in both the physical and the philosophical literature, regards the advent of (special) relativity -- with its block-universe picture -- a…
