内容: We report the storage and retrieval of single photons, via a quantum memory, in the optical phonons of room-temperature bulk diamond. The THz-bandwidth heralded photons are generated by spontan...
内容: We prepare a maximally entangled state of two ions and couple both ions to the mode of an optical cavity. The phase of the entangled state determines the collective interaction of the ions with...
内容: Quantumteleportation1 provides a ‘disembodied’way to transfer quantum states fromone object to another at a distant location, assisted by previously shared entangled states and a classical co...
内容: A quantum bit is qualitatively different from a classical bit as it allows for the coherent super-position of possibilities, which demonstrate different behaviours depending on the phase betwee...
内容: We describe a simple and solvable model of a device that—like the ‘‘neat-fingered being’’ in Maxwell’s famous thought experiment—transfers energy from a cold system to a hot system by re...
内容: The robust generation of quantum states in the presence of decoherence is a primary challenge for explorations of quantummechanics at larger scales. Using themechanicalmotion of a single trappe...
