Single and Double-click High-Rate Entanglement Generation Between Distant Ions Using Multiplexed Atomic Ensembles

In an accompanying paper [arxiv:2511.04488], we introduced an approach to interface trapped-ion quantum processors with ensemble-based quantum memories by matching a spontaneous parametric down conversion source to both the ions and the memories. This enables rapid entanglement generation between single trapped ions separated by distances of hundreds of kilometers. In this article, we extend the protocol and provide additional details of the analysis. Particularly, we compare a double-click and single-click approaches for the ion edge nodes. The double-click approach relaxes the phase stability requirement but is strongly affected by finite efficiencies. Choosing the optimal protocol thus depends on the access to the phase stabilization as well as the efficiencies of the interfaces of the ions and ensemble-based memories.

Hybrid Single-Ion Atomic-Ensemble Node for High-Rate Remote Entanglement Generation

Different quantum systems possess different favorable qualities. On the one hand, ensemble-based quantum memories are suited for fast multiplexed long-range entanglement generation. On the other hand, single-atomic systems provide access to gates for processing of information. Both of those can provide advantages for high-rate entanglement generation within quantum networks. We develop a hybrid architecture that takes advantage of these properties by combining trapped-ion nodes and nodes comprised of spontaneous parametric down conversion photon pair sources and absorptive memories based on rare-earth ion ensembles. To this end, we solve the central challenge of matching the different bandwidths of photons emitted by those systems in an initial entanglement-generation step. This enables the parallel execution of multiple probabilistic tasks in the initial stage. As a particular example, we show that our approach can lead to a significant speed-up for the fundamental task of creating ion-ion entanglement over hundreds of kilometers in a quantum network.

Requirements for Teleportation in an Intercity Quantum Network

We investigate the hardware requirements for quantum teleportation in an intercity-scale network topology consisting of two metropolitan-scale networks connected via a long-distance backbone link. Specifically, we identify the minimal improvements required beyond the state-of-the-art to achieve an end-to-end expected teleportation fidelity of $2/3$, which represents the classical limit. To this end, we formulate the hardware requirements computation as optimisation problems, where the hardware parameters representing the underlying device capabilities serve as decision variables. Assuming a simplified noise model, we derive closed-form analytical expressions for the teleportation fidelity and rate when the network is realised using heterogeneous quantum hardware, including a quantum repeater chain with a memory cut-off. Our derivations are based on events defined by the order statistics of link generation durations in both the metropolitan networks and the backbone, and the resulting expressions are validated through simulations on the NetSquid platform. The analytical expressions facilitate efficient exploration of the optimisation parameter space without resorting to computationally intensive simulations. We then apply this framework to a representative realisation in which the metropolitan nodes are based on trapped-ion processors and the backbone is composed of ensemble-based quantum memories. Our results suggest that teleportation across metropolitan distances is already achievable with state-of-the-art hardware when the data qubit is prepared after end-to-end entanglement has already been established, whereas extending teleportation to intercity scales requires additional, though plausibly achievable, improvements in hardware performance.

Quantum phase estimation in presence of glassy disorder

We investigate the response to noise, in the form of glassy disorder present in circuit elements, in the success probability of the quantum phase estimation algorithm, a subroutine used to determine the eigenvalue - a phase - corresponding to an eigenvector of a unitary gate. We prove that when a large number of auxiliary qubits are involved in the circuit, the probability does not depend on the actual type of disorder but only on the mean and strength of the disorder. For further analysis, we consider three types of disorder distributions: Haar-uniform with a circular cut-off, Haar-uniform with an elliptical or squeezed cut-off, and spherical normal. There is generally a depreciation of the disorder-averaged success probability in response to the disorder incorporation. Even in the presence of the disorder, increasing the number of auxiliary qubits helps to get a better precision of the phase, albeit to a lesser extent (probability) than that in the clean case. We find a concave to convex transition in the dependence of probability on the strength of disorder, and a log-log dependence is witnessed between the point of inflection and the number of auxiliary qubits used.
