We simulate the excitation transport in a noisy quantum network with a weakly radio-frequency coupled atom-field system in the presence of a broadband classical noise. We observe noise-enhanced transport from initial optically-pumped magnetic state to target state, as well as features attributable to the breakdown of the rotating wave approximation and the quantum Zeno effect.

By trapping cold atoms in the evanescent field of an optical nanofiber, we store and reflect guided pulses at the single-photon level. We also herald, store and read out a single waveguide-coupled collective atomic excitation.

We propose a straightforward experimental test for qubit-environment entanglement generation during qubit pure dephasing. The protocol is implemented using measurements and operations on the qubit only - no measurement of the system-environment state is required.

We interfere weak coherent states with heralded Fock states on a balanced beam splitter and detect the output with photon-number-resolving detectors. Our setup constitutes a versatile detector that can perform both Gaussian and non-Gaussian measurements.

By introducing and modifying two-photon hyper-entangled states in the time-frequency domain using an on-chip micro-cavity, we succeed in generating high-dimensional cluster states, demonstrate d-level measurement-based quantum processing and show the state’s higher noise tolerance.

We experimentally demonstrate the preservation of entanglement between an NV spin and a photon upon quantum frequency conversion to the Telecom band. This is a crucial step in realizing long-distance quantum networks.
