We report the measurement of a Bell inequality violation with a single atom and a single photon prepared in a probabilistic entangled state. This is the first demonstration of such a violation with particles of different species. The entanglement characterization of this hybrid system may also be useful in quantum information applications.

### Quantum Interface between an Atom and a Photon

A single atom strongly coupled to a high-finesse optical-cavity is a versatile tool for quantum information processing. Utilized as a single-photon source, it allows one to generate single photons

• 2020
An intuitive description of post-selections in terms of filters is provided and the fair sampling assumption is defined as a property of these filters, equivalent to the definition introduced in Ref. 10, leading to the conclusion that the post-selected data is a fair representation of the data that would be obtained with lossless detections.

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.
