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…

Cavity-Enhanced Atom-Photon Entanglement with Subsecond Lifetime

Xu-Jie Wang, Sheng-Jun Yang, Peng-Fei Sun +5

A cold atomic ensemble suits well for optical quantum memories, and its entanglement with a single photon forms the building block for quantum networks that give promise for many r…

Hong-Ou-Mandel Interference between Two Deterministic Collective Excitations in an Atomic Ensemble

Jun Li, Ming-Ti Zhou, Bo Jing +6

We demonstrate deterministic generation of two distinct collective excitations in one atomic ensemble, and we realize the Hong-Ou-Mandel interference between them. Using Rydberg bl…
