Abstract:

By co-trapping Rubidium 85 and Rubidium 87 in a single magneto-optical trap(MOT), qubit basis states are encoded as single spin-wave excitations in each one of the two atomic species co-trapped in the same region of space.  An  atomic qubit based on this isotopic mixture and its entanglement with a frequency-encoded optical qubit will be demonstrated in the first half of the talk.  In the second half of the talk, I will show the ability of dynamic entanglement connection by using acoustic-optical deflectors(AOD).  The AOD can be served as a dynamic beam splitter to make a qubit out of different quantum elements which is crucial for a practical quantum repeater.
