Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138, USA (Received 28 July 2020; accepted 16 October 2020; published 4 December 2020; corrected 22 July 2021) Quantum teleportation is essential for many quantum information technologies, including long-distance quantum networks. Using fiber-coupled devices, including state-of-the-art low-noise superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors and off-the-shelf optics, we achieve conditional quantum teleportation of time-bin qubits at the telecommunication wavelength of 1536.5 nm. We measure teleportation fidelities of ≥ 90% that are consistent with an analytical model of our system, which includes realistic imperfec- tions. To demonstrate the compatibility of our setup with deployed quantum networks, we teleport qubits over 22 km of single-mode fiber while transmitting qubits over an additional 22 km of fiber. Our sys- tems, which are compatible with emerging solid-state quantum devices, provide a realistic foundation for a high-fidelity quantum Internet with practical devices.

This system uses a novel ultrabright source of entangled photon pairs and trapped-atom quantum memories. This thesis will investigate the potential teleportation errors involved in the MIT/NU system. A single-photon, Bell-diagonal error model is developed that allows us to restrict possible errors to just four distinct events. The effects of these errors on teleportation, as well as their probabilities of occurrence, are determined.

However, integration into quantum circuits to achieve these tasks is problematic when one realizes that non-transverse operations, which are essential for universal quantum computation, lead to the spread of errors.
