Quantum teleportation is an essential capability for quantum networks, allowing the transmission of bits (qubits) without a direct exchange information. Its implementation between distant parties requires information to matter qubits that store it long enough allow users perform further processing. Here we demonstrate distance from photonic qubit at telecom wavelength qubit, stored as collective excitation in solid-state memory. Our system encompasses active feed-forward scheme, implementing...

Magnetically induced current densities in the lowest lying singlet and triplet states of a series phenylene molecules were examined at B3LYP/lanl2DZ level theory. Previous findings have shown that ground state, phenylenes exhibit ring currents with opposed tropicity: diatropic within six-membered rings paratropic four-membered rings. However, for biphenylene first excited there is drastic change aromaticity comparison to state. Specifically, this molecule state sustains strong global...

As the reach of quantum technologies extends ever further in communication and information science, a reliable way transferring between distant locations becomes more crucial. While photons are widely accepted as excellent carriers due to their speed low decoherence, losses transmission (in free space or fibre) impossibility cloning still pose great challenge. The repeater architecture was suggested solution both problems [1]. In encoded an input state is transferred new one through...
