A perspective on the pathway to a scalable quantum internet using rare-earth ions
arXiv:2304.07272 · doi:10.1063/5.0156874
Abstract
The ultimate realization of a global quantum internet will require advances in scalable technologies capable of generating, storing, and manipulating quantum information. The essential devices that will perform these tasks in a quantum network are quantum repeaters, which will enable the long-range distribution of entanglement between distant network nodes. In this perspective, we provide an overview of the primary functions of a quantum repeater and discuss progress that has been made toward the development of repeaters with rare-earth ion doped materials while noting challenges that are being faced as the technologies mature. We give particular attention to erbium, which is well suited for networking applications. Finally, we provide a discussion of near-term benchmarks that can further guide rare-earth ion platforms for impact in near-term quantum networks.
