Remote preparation of an atomic quantum memory
Remote preparation of an atomic quantum memory
In this paper, we present the first experimental demonstration of the remote preparation of an internal state of a single <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">87</sup> Rb atom. Our approach uses atom-photon entanglement as the interface between the two quantum systems and allows to distantly prepare an arbitrary quantum state of a distant …
