• Abstract summary: We report on an elementary quantum network of two atomic ions separated by 230 m. At each network node, the electronic state of an ion is entangled with the polarization state of a single cavity photon. We analyze the routes to improve these metrics, paving the way for long-distance networks of entangled quantum processors.

• Abstract: We report on an elementary quantum network of two atomic ions separated by 230 m. The ions are trapped in different buildings and connected with 520(2) m of optical fiber. At each network node, the electronic state of an ion is entangled with the polarization state of a single cavity photon; subsequent to interference of the photons at a beamsplitter, photon detection heralds entanglement between the two ions. Fidelities of up to $(88.2+2.3-6.0)\%$ are achieved with respect to a maximally entangled Bell state, with a success probability of $4 \times 10^{-5}$. We analyze the routes to improve these metrics, paving the way for long-distance networks of entangled quantum processors.

  We entangle each individual matter-qubit in a register of ten to a separate travelling photon. An average ion-photon Bell state fidelity of 92(1)% is achieved, for an average probability for detecting each single photon of 9.1(8)%. The technique is directly scalable to larger ion-qubit registers and opens up the near-term possibility of entangling distributed networks of trapped-ion quantum processors, sensing arrays and clocks.

  Long-distance quantum communication using quantum repeaters is an enabling technology for secure communication. As a building block of quantum repeaters, spin-photon entanglement has been demonstrated with both atomic and solid-state qubits. Here, we demonstrate spin-photon entanglement using a single Er$3+$ ion in a solid-state crystal, integrated into a silicon nanophotonic circuit.

  We implant Er$3+$ into CaWO$_4$, a material that combines a non-polar site symmetry, low decoherence from nuclear spins, and is free of background rare earth ions. We observe single-scan optical linewidths of 150 kHz and long-term spectral diffusion of 63 kHz, both close to the Purcell-enhanced radiative linewidth of 21 kHz. This represents a significant step towards the construction of telecom-band quantum repeater networks with single Er$3+$ ions.

  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.
