• Abstract: Entanglement purification is an essential component of quantum repeaters, as it can improve the fidelity of the distributed entangled states and mitigate the effects of the noisy channel. Successful purification yields entangled states with increased fidelity, whereas failed events can still retain residual entanglement that remains usable for further purification when the error rates of the two degrees of freedom (DOFs) are unbalanced. In this paper, we demonstrate a single-copy entanglement purification scheme based on hyperentanglement using silicon chips and experimentally observe the presence of residual entanglement. Leveraging the reconfigurability of integrated photonics, our scheme ensures that, under bit-flip noise acting on the two DOFs, residual entanglement suitable for further purification can always be obtained, regardless of which DOF has the higher error rate. Our results demonstrate the advantages of integrated photonics for quantum information processing and provide guidance for the optimized utilization of entanglement resources in on-chip entanglement purification and future quantum repeater systems.

• Entanglement buffering with two quantum memories [0.0]
  Quantum networks crucially rely on the availability of high-quality entangled pairs of qubits, known as entangled links. Maintaining the quality of these links is a challenging task due to the presence of time-dependent noise. Entanglement purification protocols offer a solution by converting multiple low-quality entangled states into a smaller number of higher-quality ones.
