We observe violation of a Bell inequality between the quantum states of two remote Yb+ ions separated by a distance of about 1 m with the detection loophole closed. The heralded entanglement of two ions is established via interference and joint detection of two emitted photons, whose polarization is entangled with each ion. The entanglement of remote qubits is also characterized by full quantum state tomography.

Quantum information: Violation of Bell's inequality in Si.
An entangled state of two spin qubits in silicon has been prepared and measured, yielding a violation of Bell's inequality that is the largest achieved in the solid state so far.
Ion-photon entanglement and Bell inequality violation with ^138Ba^+
We report on the demonstration of ion–photon entanglement and Bell inequality violation in a system of trapped Ba138+ ions. Entanglement between the Zeeman sublevels of the ground state of a single…
Quantum Teleportation Between Distant Matter Qubits
TLDR
A quantum bit stored in a single trapped ytterbium ion (Yb+) is teleported to a second Yb+ atom with an average fidelity of 90% over a replete set of states.
Distribution of quantum information between an atom and two photons
This thesis documents the distribution of an entangled state between a single atom trapped in the mode of a high-finesse optical cavity and two subsequently emitted photons. The long atom trapping…
Hybrid quantum logic and a test of Bell’s inequality using two different atomic isotopes
TLDR
A deterministic quantum logic gate is used to generate a ‘hybrid’ entangled state of two trapped-ion qubits held in different isotopes of calcium, perform full tomography of the state produced, and make a test of Bell’s inequality with non-identical atoms.
Photon-photon entanglement with a single trapped atom.
TLDR
The combination of cavity-QED and trapped atom techniques makes the protocol inherently deterministic--an essential step for the generation of scalable entanglement between the nodes of a distributed quantum network.
Experimental violation of multipartite Bell inequalities with trapped ions.
TLDR
This work considers resource states for measurement-based quantum computation of between 3 and 7 ions and shows that all strongly violate a Bell-type inequality for graph states, where the criterion for violation is a sufficiently high fidelity.
Bell-inequality tests with entanglement between an atom and a coherent state in a cavity
We study Bell inequality tests with entanglement between a coherent-state field in a cavity and a two-level atom. In order to detect the cavity field for such a test, photon on/off measurements and…

Robust long-distance entanglement and a loophole-free bell test with ions and photons.
TLDR
The use of two-photon interference allows entanglement distribution free of interferometric sensitivity to the path length of the photons, and opens up the possibility of a loophole-free test of Bell's inequalities.
Entanglement of remote atomic qubits.
TLDR
Entanglement of two remote atomic qubits, each qubit consisting of two independent spin wave excitations, and reversible, coherent transfer of entanglement between matter and light represent important advances in quantum information science.

Entanglement of a photon and a collective atomic excitation.
TLDR
A new experimental approach to probabilistic atom-photon (signal) entanglement is described and Polarization states of both the signal and the idler are recorded and are found to be in violation of the Bell inequality.

TLDR
A proposal for an experimental realization of Bohm s spin-2 particle version of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen experiment is described, which will not only close the detector efficiency loophole, but in addition will permit enforcement of the locality condition.
Quantum Repeaters: The Role of Imperfect Local Operations in Quantum Communication
TLDR
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.
Violation of a Bell-like inequality in single-neutron interferometry
TLDR
This work measures correlations between two degrees of freedom (comprising spatial and spin components) of single neutrons; this removes the need for a source of entangled neutron pairs, which would present a considerable technical challenge.
Entanglement of single-atom quantum bits at a distance
TLDR
The entanglement of two fixed single-atom quantum memories separated by one metre is demonstrated by directly measuring qubit correlations with near-perfect detection efficiency, and is still in principle useful for subsequent quantum operations and scalable quantum information applications.
"Event-ready-detectors" Bell experiment via entanglement swapping.
TLDR
This work gives the conditions for high fringe visibility and particle collection efficiency as required for a Bell test and subcoherence-time monitoring of the idlers provides a noninteractive quantum measurement entangling and preselecting the independent signals without touching them.
