We experimentally demonstrate a protocol for entanglement distribution by a separable quantum system. In our experiment, two spatially separated modes of an electromagnetic field get entangled by local operations, classical communication, and transmission of a correlated but separable mode between them. This highlights the utility of quantum correlations beyond entanglement for the establishment of a fundamental quantum information resource and verifies that its distribution by a dual classical and separable quantum communication is possible.
我们通过可分离量子系统实验演示了纠缠分发协议。在实验中,通过局域操作、经典通讯和传输相关但可分离模式,使两个空间分离的电磁场模式纠缠。这凸显了量子关联在建立基本量子信息资源方面的效用,超越了纠缠,同时验证了通过双经典和可分离量子通讯分发其的可能性。
