- Abstract: We propose a quantum ranging protocol to determine the distance between an
observer and a target at the line of sight in the near-Earth curved spacetime.
Unlike the quantum illumination scheme, here we employ multiple quantum
hypothesis testing to decide the presence and location of the target at the
same time. In the present protocol, the gravity of the Earth influences the
propagation of photons and the performance of quantum ranging. We find that the
maximum potential advantages of the quantum ranging strategy in the curved
spacetime outperform its flat spacetime counterpart. This is because the effect
of gravitational red-shift and blue-shift on the entangled signal photons can
be canceled out, while the thermal photons only suffers from the gravitational
blue-shift effect. We also show that the number of transmitted modes can
promote the maximum potential advantage of the quantum ranging tasks. The
maximum potential advantage of quantum ranging in the curved spacetime can not
be raised sharply by dividing the range into multiple slices.

Quantum interference can be enabled by projecting the quantum state onto ambiguous properties that render the photons indistinguishable.
By combining these ideas, here we design and experimentally demonstrate a simple and robust scheme that tailors quantum interference to engineer photonic states.
We believe these spatially-engineered multi-photon quantum states may be of significance in fields such as quantum metrology, microscopy, and communications.

We introduce an operational way to distinguish between the overall shift in the pulse wavepacket and its genuine deformation after propagation.
We then apply our technique to quantum states of photons that are coherent in the frequency degree of freedom.
We find that the quantum coherence initially present can enhance the deformation induced by propagation in a curved background.

Future quantum networks will enable the distribution of entanglement between distant locations and allow applications in quantum communication, quantum sensing and distributed quantum computation.
Here we report the demonstration of heralded entanglement between two spatially separated quantum nodes, where the entanglement is stored in multimode solid-state quantum memories.
We also show that the generated entanglement is robust against loss in the heralding path, and demonstrate temporally multiplexed operation, with 62 temporal modes.
