Quantum Networks with Deterministic Spin–Photon Interfaces

Abstract

This report considers how recent experimental progress on deterministic solid-state spin–photon interfaces enables the construction of a number of key elements of quantum networks. After reviewing some of the recent experimental achievements, a discussion of their integration into Bell state analyzers, quantum non-demolition detection, and photonic cluster state generation is presented. Finally, it is outlined how these elements can be used for long-distance entanglement generation and quantum key distribution in a quantum network.
