Trapped atomic ions have proven to be one of the most viable candidates for quantum information processing. Integrating ions (quantum memory) with photons (information carriers) offers a unique path to large-scale quantum computation. Recently, we have implemented a heralded photon-mediated quantum gate between remote ions, and employed this gate to perform a teleportation protocol between two ions separated by a distance of about one meter. The method demonstrated here avoids many of the issues associated with previously demonstrated motional gates, while presenting a new set of challenges and possibilities for integration to larger systems. |
