  1. QUANTOP Danmarks Grundforskningsfond - Quantum Optics Center Quantum teleportation between light and matter Eugene Polzik Niels Bohr Institute Copenhagen University

  2. Quantum mechanical wonders (second wave) Quantum objects cannot be measured cannot be copied exist in superposition and entangled states Quantum Information Science • Quantum memory • Communications with • absolute security • Computing with unprecedented speed • Teleportation of objects (or at least of their quantum states)

  3. Teleportation a la Star Trek, what’s the problem? Problem: Matter cannot be reversibly converted into light! Question: If matter if not teleported, then what is being transmitted? Answer: information - is what should be transmitted

  4. Problem: electrons, atoms and humans cannot be described as a set of classical bits 00111010111000010101

  5. Bohr’s complementarity principle Perfect measurement of both position and momentum is impossible Minimal symmetric Uncertainty: The more precisely the position is determined, the less precisely the momentum is known in this instant, and vice versa. --Heisenberg 1927 Blegdamsvej 17, Copenhagen Noncommuting operators: Heisenberg in 1927.

  6. Challenge of Quantum Teleportation: transfer two non-commuting operators from one system onto another (Heisenberg picture) equivalent to: Transfer an unknown quantum state from one system onto another (Schördinger picture) Teleportation experiments so far: Light onto light:Innsbruck(97), Rome(97), Caltech(98), Geneva, Tokyo, Canberra… Single ion onto single ion: Boulder (04), Innsbruck (04)

Summary: • Teleportation between two mesoscopic objects of different nature – • a photonic pulse and an atomic ensemble demonstrated • Distance 0.5 meter, can be increased (limited mainly • by propagation losses) • Extention to qubit teleportation possible • Fidelity can approach 100% with more sophisticated measurement • procedure plus using squeezed light as a probe J.
