Abstract
Entanglement distribution between distant nodes is a critical requirement for the realization of quantum networks. Recently, entanglement between distant atomic qubits has been demonstrated experimentally [1]. This scheme uses the projective measurement of the photons emitted by the two distant atoms to entangle them. Another strategy is to generate entangled photon pairs by a parametric down-conversion process, and make them interact with the distant atoms, transferring the entanglement from photon to atomic qubits [2,3]. Here we describe our activities towards studying this second kind of entanglement distribution scheme.
