Scalable photonic quantum networks

A scalable photonic quantum network will facilitate the preparation of distributed quantum correlations among many light beams, allowing a new regime of state complexity to be accessed, and enabling new quantum-enhanced applications. Such a network can be constructed by means of linear optical opera...

Description
Summary:A scalable photonic quantum network will facilitate the preparation of distributed quantum correlations among many light beams, allowing a new regime of state complexity to be accessed, and enabling new quantum-enhanced applications. Such a network can be constructed by means of linear optical operations on pure-state quantum light beams, measurement by efficient photodetectors, and storage in a photonic quantum memory. © OSA 2013.
