Towards long-distance atom-photon and atom-atom entanglement — •Michael Krug1, Florian Henkel1, Norbert Ortegel1, Julian Hofmann1, Wenjamin Rosenfeld1, Markus Weber1, and Harald Weinfurter1,21Department für Physik der LMU, Schellingstraße 4/III, 80799 München — 2Max-Planck-Institut für Quantenoptik, Hans-Kopfermann-Straße 1, 85748 Garching

Entanglement between single neutral atoms separated by several hundred meters is an essential step towards future applications in long-distance quantum communication like the quantum repeater and a first loophole-free test of Bell’s inequality [1]. Atom-photon entanglement is the key element to realize both goals. By swapping the entanglement from two non-interacting entangled atom-photon pairs via a photonic Bell-state measurement onto the two atoms a pair of entangled atoms at large distances can be prepared.
Here we present progress towards long-distance atom-atom entanglement. We have established a robust photonic fiber-communication channel of 300 m length, which allowed us to reliably distribute atom-photon entanglement [2]. Towards two entangled 87Rb atoms we present recent progress in the setup of our second mobile single-atom trap. First atom-photon correlation measurements are discussed.
