Description

Entanglement distribution over long distances enables us to transfer information securely by means of quantum repeaters across quantum networks. Here we present a scheme for generating heralded entanglement between spatially separated single rare-earth ions doped into crystals. We propose to co-dope each crystal with a single Er ion and several Eu ions. Gate operations between nearby ions can be performed using dipole coupling in order to map the quantum states of rare earth ions onto each other and to establish long-lasting entanglement between distant ions. We also describe preparation strategies that allow us to design quantum repeaters using single rare earth ions.
