Quantum state teleportation from a single ion to a single photon by heralded absorption — •Jan Arenskötter, Stephan Kucera, Matthias Kreis, Pascal Eich, Philipp Müller, and Jürgen Eschner — Universität des Saarlandes, Experimentalphysik, Campus E2.6, 66123 Saarbrücken
Quantum networks with trapped ions require interfaces between the nodes and channels and a resource of entanglement for long distance communication. Photon-pair sources based on spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) and tailored to match an atomic transition are such a resource [1]. Quantum state teleportation [2] provides a protocol for atom-photon interfaces, alternative to direct quantum state transfer [3].
We show the teleportation of a qubit encoded in the D5/2 Zeeman sub-levels of the 40Ca+ ion onto the polarization qubit of a single 854 nm photon. For this we use a cavity-enhanced SPDC source in Sagnac configuration, tunable and bandwidth-optimized for resonant interaction with the 40Ca+ ion. The Bell state measurement of the teleportation protocol is implemented through heralded absorption of one photon of the pair [4]. The mean process fidelity of the teleportation after background correction is 86.3(23)%, and the mean overlap fidelity of the input states with the measured output states is 89.6(55)%.
