We integrate a long-lived memory qubit into a mixed-species trapped-ion quantum network node. Ion-photon entanglement first generated with a network qubit in ^{88}Sr^{+} is transferred to ^{43}Ca^{+} with 0.977(7) fidelity, and mapped to a robust memory qubit. We then entangle the network qubit with a second photon, without affecting the memory qubit. We perform quantum state tomography to show that the fidelity of ion-photon entanglement decays ∼70 times slower on the memory qubit. Dynamical decoupling further extends the storage duration; we measure an ion-photon entanglement fidelity of 0.81(4) after 10 s.
我们将一个长寿命的记忆量子位集成到一个混合物种囚禁离子量子网络节点中。首先在 ^{88}Sr^{+}中使用网络量子位生成的离子-光子纠缠态以 0.977(7)的保真度转移到 ^{43}Ca^{+},并映射到一个稳健的记忆量子位。然后,我们使网络量子位与第二个光子纠缠,而不影响记忆量子位。我们进行量子态层析成像,以显示离子-光子纠缠的保真度在记忆量子位上衰减约 70 倍。动态去耦进一步延长了存储时间;我们在 10 秒后测量到离子-光子纠缠的保真度为 0.81(4)。
