Heralded mapping of photonic entanglement into single atoms in free space: proposal for a loophole-free Bell test

An obvious way to entangle two atoms located at remote locations is to produce a pair of entangled photons half-way between the two atoms, to send one photon to each location and to subsequently map the photonic entanglement into the atoms. The efficiency of this process is, however, fundamentally l...
