Networks powered by quantum entanglement: from the first loophole-free Bell test to a quantum Internet
Entanglement – the property that particles can share a single quantum state - is arguably the most counterintuitive yet potentially most powerful element of quantum physics. Future quantum networks may harness the unique features of entanglement in a range of exciting applications, such as quantum computation and simulation, secure communication, enhanced metrology for astronomy and time-keeping as well as fundamental tests of nature. To fulfil these promises, a strong worldwide effort is ongoing to gain precise control over multi-particle nodes and to wire them up using quantum-photonic channels. Diamond spins associated with NV centers are promising building blocks for such a network as they combine a coherent electron-optical interface [1] (similar to that of trapped atomic qubits) with a local register of robust and well-controlled nuclear spin qubits [2].
Here I will introduce the field of quantum networks and present an overview of the latest progress, including the first loophole-free violation of Bell’s inequalities [3,4] and the first primitive network experiments on a pair on spatially separated two-qubit nodes.
