Committing light moments to solid quantum memory

A team at Nanjing University has successfully demonstrated quantum teleportation from telecommunication-wavelength light to a solid-state quantum memory, exceeding theoretical limits for classical systems. The experiment uses components compatible with existing fibre networks, opening the door to large-scale quantum networks.

Long-live quantum entanglement goes to distance

Researchers have achieved record-long quantum storage of entangled photons at telecom wavelengths on a platform that can be deployed in extended networks. The storage time is almost 400 times longer than previous demonstrations, demonstrating a decisive step towards practical devices.
