报告摘要：The quantum network is one of the ultimate goals of emerging quantum technologies. It enables the sharing of entangled qubits over a long distance. The most prominent application currently being developed is quantum key distribution (QKD), where the quantum property of the information carrier allows for the exchange of a provably secure key. However, its usable distance is limited to only a few hundred kilometers due to an inevitable trade-off between distance and key rate.Fortunately, the quantum repeater is known to be a great platform to overcome this challenge by extending the distance between nodes. Over the past decade, nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamonds have shown outstanding performance as quantum repeaters. However, when combined with nano-devices, their unstable nature presents an overwhelming challenge for practical deployment in real-life applications. As an alternative, the silicon-vacancy (SiV) color center is emerging as a potential solution. Thanks to its outstanding stability within nano-devices, it allows for near-deterministic single photon-spin interactions that pave the way to practical quantum repeaters.In this seminar, I will discuss the technical problems related to quantum repeater engineering by comparing two outstanding platforms for quantum repeaters.
