The dynamics of an ultracold dilute gas of bosonic atoms in an optical lattice can be described by a Bose-Hubbard model where the system parameters are controlled by laser light. We study the…
Long-distance quantum communication with atomic ensembles and linear optics
It is shown that the communication efficiency scales polynomially with the channel length, and hence the scheme should be operable over very long distances.
Quantum Repeaters: The Role of Imperfect Local Operations in Quantum Communication
- H. Briegel, W. Dür, J. Cirac, P. Zoller
- Computer Science
- 28 December 1998
This work presents a scheme of a quantum repeater that connects a string of (imperfect) entangled pairs of particles by using a novel nested purification protocol, thereby creating a single distant pair of high fidelity.
Quantum State Transfer and Entanglement Distribution among Distant Nodes in a Quantum Network
- J. Cirac, P. Zoller, H. Kimble, H. Mabuchi

- 12 November 1996
We propose a scheme to utilize photons for ideal quantum transmission between atoms located at spatially separated nodes of a quantum network. The transmission protocol employs special laser pulses…

- 7 November 2000
A technique for manipulating quantum information stored in collective states of mesoscopic ensembles by optical excitation into states with strong dipole-dipole interactions that can be employed for controlled generation of collective atomic spin states as well as nonclassical photonic states and for scalable quantum logic gates is described.
Quantum repeaters based on entanglement purification
- W. Dur, H. Briegel, J. Cirac, P. Zoller
- Physics, Computer Science
- 31 August 1998
A scheme is presented that allows entanglement purification over arbitrary long channels and tolerates errors on the percent level and requires a polynomial overhead in time, and an overhead in local resources that grows only logarithmically with the length of the channel.
Many-particle entanglement with Bose–Einstein condensates
- A. Sørensen, L. Duan, J. Cirac, P. Zoller
- PhysicsNature
- 24 June 2000
This work proposes a method to achieve substantial entanglement of a large number of atoms in a Bose–Einstein condensate, which is then allowed to evolve freely and should be realizable with present technology.
Two-orbital SU(N) magnetism with ultracold alkaline-earth atoms
- A. Gorshkov, M. Hermele, A. Rey
- Physics
- 18 May 2009
Fermionic alkaline-earth atoms have unique properties that make them attractive candidates for the realization of atomic clocks and degenerate quantum gases. At the same time, they are attracting…
Complete Characterization of a Quantum Process: The Two-Bit Quantum Gate
- J. Poyatos, J. Cirac, P. Zoller
- Physics
- 10 November 1996
We show how to fully characterize a quantum process in an open quantum system. We particularize the procedure to the case of a universal two-qubit gate in a quantum computer. We illustrate the method…
