"Quantum repeater: quantum optics and solid state implementations"

Abstract

EPR pairs are a resource for quantum communication and quantum computing. Creating a long distance high-fidelity EPR pair can be achieved in a quantum repeater protocol which is based on entanglement generation, purification, and connections of pairs. In this talk we discuss implementation of these protocols with photons and atomic ensembles, and possible extension and adaption of these ideas to generation and purifcation of spin-singlets in solid state circuits.
