Quantum teleportation enables to transfer the quantum state of a particle to a remote location without sending the particle itself. Here, we report on teleportation of the polarization state of an attenuated laser pulse to a single 87Rb atom stored in an optical dipole trap over a distance of 20   m. In a first step the atomic Zeeman state is entangled with the polarization state of a single photon1. The emitted photon interferes with the polarized photon of the laser pulse on a beam splitter enabling a Bell state measurement. This projects the atom to one of four well-defined states depending on the outcome of the Bell state measurement. To achieve a sufficient fidelity one has to ensure that the interfering photons are indistinguishable in all degrees of freedom except polarization. Additionally the Poissonian distribution of the laser source gives rise to a non-vanishing probability for multi-photon pulses. We determine the fidelity of the teleportation process by evaluating the density matrix of the new atomic state. This demonstrates e.g. the possibility of writing quantum states into a remote quantum memory.
