The Coulomb interaction generally limits the quantum propagation of electrons. However, it can also provide a mechanism to transfer their quantum state over larger distances. Here, we demonstrate such a form of electron teleportation across a metallic island. This effect originates from the low-temperature freezing of the island's charge Q which, in the presence of a single connected electronic channel, enforces a one-to-one correspondence between incoming and outgoing electrons. Such faithful quantum state imprinting is established between well-separated injection and emission locations and evidenced through two-path interferences in the integer quantum Hall regime. The additional quantum phase of 2π/, where is the electron charge, may allow for decoherence-free entanglement of propagating electrons, and notably of flying qubits.
库仑相互作用通常限制了电子的量子传播。然而,它也可以提供一种机制来远距离传输它们的量子态。在这里,我们展示了跨越金属岛的电子传送这样的形式。这种效应源于岛电荷 Q 的低温冻结,在存在单个连接的电子通道的情况下,岛电荷 Q 迫使输入和输出电子之间存在一一对应的关系。这种忠实的量子态印记是在相隔较远的注入和发射位置之间建立起来的,并通过整数量子霍尔区的双通道干涉得到证明。附加的量子相位为 2π/,其中 是电子电荷,这可能允许传播电子的无退相干纠缠,特别是飞行量子位的无退相干纠缠。
