Abstract

With the recent achievement of classical state teleportation between fields of distinct colors, we aim at the next step, involving the transfer of quantum states between an atomic system and another system at the telecom L-band.We should use an Optical Parametric Oscillator built with a PPKTP crystal, pumped by a 532 nm laser. It will produce an entangled pair in 795 and 1608 nm. In order to demonstrate the capacity of teleporting a non-classical state, we will use a squeezed state produced by polarizing self-rotation in an atomic media. We should also swap the entanglement of an entangled pair produced by four wave mixing, making the transfer of entanglement to a wavelength that is compatible with silicon chips. (AU)
