Description
Quantum networks have already been realized between two remote qubits.
Our work aims to develop the ability to entangle remote quantum
processors, each consisting of a register of qubits capable of
universal quantum processing. On the path towards that, we have
developed a small-scale trapped ion quantum processor that allows for
each qubit to be entangled with a different propagating photon. Such
photons could be used to entangle remote copies of the processor. We
demonstrated the capabilities of our system in two different ways: by
generating 3 entangled atom-photon pairs and then swapping the quantum
state from the matter processor to light; and by scaling our approach
to 10 qubits.
