Abstract: Gathering data through measurements is at the basis of every experimental science. Ideally, measurements should be repeatable and, when extracting only coarse-grained data, they should allo...
Abstract: Large nonlinearity at the single-photon level can pave the way for the implementation of universal quantum gates. However, realizing large and noiseless nonlinearity at such low light level...
Abstract: We report on the experimental violation of multipartite Bell inequalities by entangled states of trapped ions. First, we consider resource states for measurement-based quantum computation o...
Abstract: Laser-cooled atomic ions form ordered structures in radiofrequency ion traps and in Penning traps. Here we demonstrate in a Penning trap the creation and manipulation of a wide variety of i...
Abstract: Bohr proposed that the outcome of a measurement becomes objective and real, and, hence, classical, when its results can be communicated by classical means. In this work we revisit Bohr’s p...
Abstract: To create and manipulate non-classical states of light for quantum information protocols, a strong, nonlinear interaction at the singlephoton level is required. One approach to the generati...
