基于原子系综和线性光学的量子中继器

Quantum repeaters based on atomic ensembles and linear optics

Nicolas Sangouard, Christoph Simon, Hugues de Riedmatten, Nicolas Gisin

摘要:

量子态在长距离上的分布受到光子损耗的限制。由于不可克隆定理,经典电信中的直接放大在量子通信中不是一种选择。这个问题可以通过实现量子中继器协议来解决,该协议通过纠缠交换从短距离纠缠产生长距离纠缠。这样的协议需要以一种预示的方式产生纠缠,将其存储在量子存储器中,并交换它。实现量子中继器的一个有吸引力的一般策略是基于使用原子系综作为量子存储器,结合线性光学技术和光子计数来执行所有需要的操作。在这里,我们回顾了这一非常活跃的领域的理论和实验现状。我们定量地比较了不同方法的潜力,重点是超越光子直接传输的最直接目标。

英文摘要:

The distribution of quantum states over long distances is limited by photon loss. Straightforward amplification as in classical telecommunications is not an option in quantum communication because of the no-cloning theorem. This problem could be overcome by implementing quantum repeater protocols, which create long-distance entanglement from shorter-distance entanglement via entanglement swapping. Such protocols require the capacity to create entanglement in a heralded fashion, to store it in quantum memories, and to swap it. One attractive general strategy for realizing quantum repeaters is based on the use of atomic ensembles as quantum memories, in combination with linear optical techniques and photon counting to perform all required operations. Here we review the theoretical and experimental status quo of this very active field. We compare the potential of different approaches quantitatively, with a focus on the most immediate goal of outperforming the direct transmission of photons.
