Physicists Create First Long-Distance Quantum Link
In an ordinary computer network, data in the form of binary numbers are transferred from one machine (node) to another via some sort of electronic signal, either electrical or optical. The success of this transfer comes when the recipient has precisely the same set of binary figures that were sent. In a quantum network, the "data" is a quantum state—the particular configuration of an atom's energy, spin, etc.—and the transfer of information is successful if the state is reproduced in a separate quantum system some distance away. Extant quantum networks are capable of either receiving or sending signals, but not both simultaneously. A new experiment reported by Stephan Ritter et al. in Nature has achieved a simple two-node quantum network, in which a single photon successfully transferred the spin state of one rubidium atom to a second atom 21 meters away. Since the nodes are identical, both being rubidium atoms, signals are bi-directional. This type of quantum network should be scalable to encom
