Improving entanglement generation rates in trapped ion quantum networks using nondestructive photon measurement and storage

Abstract

Long range quantum information processing will require the integration of different technologies to form hybrid architectures combining the strengths of multiple quantum systems. In this work, we propose a hybrid networking architecture designed to improve entanglement rates in quantum networks based on trapped ions. Trapped ions are excellent candidates as network nodes but photon losses make long-distance networking difficult. To overcome some losses and extend the range of trapped-ion-based networks, we propose including neutral-atom-based non-destructive single-photon detection and single photon storage in between networking nodes, forming a hybrid network. This work builds on recently demonstrated optical frequency conversion of single photons emitted by trapped ions. We derive the average two-node entanglement rate for this proposed network architecture as a function of distance. Using reasonable experimental parameters, we show this proposed quantum network can generate remote entanglement rates up to a factor of 100 larger than that of an equivalent homogeneous network at both near-IR and C-band wavelengths for distances up to 50 km.
