The projection on Bell states is a key procedure for quantum-state teleportation and for entanglement swapping schemes as required for a quantum repeater [1,2]. We present a scheme that distinguishes between all four hybrid atom-photon Bell-states. It is based on heralded absorption [3] of the photonic qubit by a ⁴⁰Ca⁺ ion whereby the non-absorbed photons pass the ion in a second passage by a time delayed back-reflection. The scheme is demonstrated via atom-to-photon quantum teleportation of a qubit encoded in the D_5/2 Zeeman sub-levels of the ion onto the polarization qubit of a single 854 nm photon. We use a cavity-enhanced spontaneous parametric down-conversion source in interferometric configuration as resource of polarization entanglement which is tailored to match the D_5/2 - P_3/2 transition at 854 nm. Quantum process tomography between the atomic input states and the photonic output states validates the successful projection onto the Bell-states.
