Description
The generation and distribution of entanglement as a resource is one of the big challenges for the field of quantum communication. We discuss some of our work on single photon entanglement and building up complex quantum states from individual photons for use in quantum networks. In particular, some of our recent work looks at going beyond entanglement swapping to heralding entanglement at a distance, which is of relevance for quantum repeaters as well as device-independent QKD. We finish with a quick look at how we’re developing photonic sources compatible with quantum memories and some recent results on photon number resolving detectors
