Error Mitigation Protocol for Multi-Photon Noise in Quantum Repeater Chains

Abstract

Noise from multi-photon emissions can severely limit the use of probabilistic photon sources in quantum repeater chains. We present a Bell state measurement protocol that suppresses noise from multi-pair emissions in quantum repeaters.

Entanglement-fidelity limits of photonically networked atomic qubits from recoil and timing

The remote entanglement of two atomic quantum memories through photonic interactions is accompanied by atomic momentum recoil. When the interactions occur at different times, such as from the random emission over the lifetime of the atomic excited state, the difference in recoil timing can expose “which-path” information and ultimately lead to decoherence. Time-bin encoded photonic qubits can be particularly sensitive to asynchronous recoil timing. In this paper we study the limits of entanglement fidelity in atomic systems due to recoil and other timing imbalances and show how these effects can be suppressed or even eliminated through proper experimental design.
