Protocols for long-distance quantum communication with single <sup>167</sup>Er ions
We design a quantum repeater architecture using individual $^{167}$Er ions doped into Y$_2$SiO$_5$ crystal. This ion is a promising candidate for a repeater protocol because of its long hyperfine coherence time in addition to its ability to emit photons within the telecommunication wavelength range. To distribute entanglement over a long …
