Deterministic spin-photon entanglement from a trapped ion in a fiber Fabry-Perot cavity
Abstract
The development of efficient network nodes is a key element for the realisation of quantum networks which promise great capabilities as distributed quantum computing or provable secure communication. We report the realisation of a quantum network node using a trapped ion inside a fiber-based Fabry-Perot cavity. We show the generation of deterministic entanglement at a high fidelity of 91.2(2) \,\% between a trapped Yb--ion and a photon emitted into the resonator mode. We achieve a success probability for generation and detection of entanglement for a single shot of 2.5 · 10-3 resulting in 62\,Hz entanglement rate.
