Abstract: A quantum memory is a key component for quantum networks, which will enable the distribution of quantum information. Its successful development requires storage of singlephoton light. Encod...
Abstract: Non-classical states of light are of fundamental importance for emerging quantum technologies. All optics experiments producing multi-qubit entangled states have until now relied on outcome...
Abstract: Quantum measurements are commonly performed by thresholding a collection of analog detector-output signals to obtain a sequence of single-shot bit values. The intrinsic irreversibility of t...
Abstract: Applying a magnetic eld gradient to a trapped ion allows long-wavelength microwave radiation to produce a mechanical force on the ion's motion when internal transitions are driven. We demon...
Abstract: We present arguments to the effect that time and temperature can be viewed as a form of quantum entanglement. Furthermore, if temperature is thought of as arising from the quantum mechanica...
Abstract: Temporally shaped control pulses for the creation of long-distance entanglement in disordered spin chains are derived. Our idea is based on a time-dependent target functional and a time-loc...
