Quantum teleportation from a telecom-wavelength photon to a solid-state quantum memory
In quantum teleportation, the state of a single quantum system is disembodied
into classical information and purely quantum correlations, to be later
reconstructed onto a second system that has never directly interacted with the
first one. This counterintuitive phenomenon is a cornerstone of quantum
information science due to its essential role in several important tasks such
as the long-distance transmission of quantum information using quantum
repeaters. In this context, a challenge of paramount importance is the
distribution of entanglement between remote nodes, and to use this entanglement
as a resource for long-distance light-to-matter quantum teleportation. Here we
demonstrate quantum teleportation of the polarization state of a
telecom-wavelength photon onto the state of a solid-state quantum memory.
Entanglement is established between a rare-earth-ion doped crystal storing a
single photon that is polarization-entangled with a flying telecom-wavelength
photon. The latter is jointly measured with another flying qubit carrying the
polarization state to be teleported, which heralds the teleportation. The
fidelity of the polarization state of the photon retrieved from the memory is
shown to be greater than the maximum fidelity achievable without entanglement,
even when the combined distances travelled by the two flying qubits is 25 km of
standard optical fibre. This light-to-matter teleportation channel paves the
way towards long-distance implementations of quantum networks with solid-state
quantum memories.Comment: 5 pages (main text) + appendix (10 pages

High-efficiency WSi superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors operating at 2.5 K
We investigate the operation of WSi superconducting nanowire single-photon
detectors (SNSPDs) at 2.5 K, a temperature which is ~ 70 % of the
superconducting transition temperature (TC) of 3.4 K. We demonstrate saturation
of the system detection efficiency at 78 +- 2 % with a jitter of 191 ps. We
find that the jitter at 2.5 K is limited by the noise of the readout, and can
be improved through the use of cryogenic amplifiers. Operation of SNSPDs with
high efficiency at temperatures very close to TC appears to be a unique
property of amorphous WSi
High-efficiency superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors fabricated from MoSi thin-films
We demonstrate high-efficiency superconducting nanowire single-photon
detectors (SNSPDs) fabricated from MoSi thin-films. We measure a maximum system
detection efficiency (SDE) of 87 +- 0.5 % at 1542 nm at a temperature of 0.7 K,
with a jitter of 76 ps, maximum count rate approaching 10 MHz, and polarization
dependence as low as 3.4 +- 0.7 % The SDE curves show saturation of the
internal efficiency similar to WSi-based SNSPDs at temperatures as high as 2.3
K. We show that at similar cryogenic temperatures, MoSi SNSPDs achieve
efficiencies comparable to WSi-based SNSPDs with nearly a factor of two

Ultra-high bandwidth quantum secured data transmission
Quantum key distribution (QKD) provides an attractive means for securing communications in optical fibre networks. However, deployment of the technology has been hampered by the frequent need for dedicated dark fibres to segregate the very weak quantum signals from conventional traffic. Up until now the coexistence of QKD with data has been limited to bandwidths that are orders of magnitude below those commonly employed in fibre optic communication networks. Using an optimised wavelength divisional multiplexing scheme, we transport QKD and the prevalent 100 Gb/s data format in the forward direction over the same fibre for the first time. We show a full quantum encryption system operating with a bandwidth of 200 Gb/s over a 100 km fibre. Exploring the ultimate limits of the technology by experimental measurements of the Raman noise, we demonstrate it is feasible to combine QKD with 10 Tb/s of data over a 50 km link. These results suggest it will be possible to integrate QKD and other quantum photonic technologies into high bandwidth data communication infrastructures, thereby allowing their widespread deployment
