Dr. Silke Stähler-Schöpf talks about: “PhotonLab – The students Lab at MPQ”
PhotonLab was founded in 2010. The basis of the lab are more than 20 experiments around laser, light and quantum. School students get instructions on iPads to carry them out. Up to now we welcomed more than 23.000 visitors. But we have more public outreach activities as GirlsDay, supporting competitions like GYPT, Jugend forscht, and about 40 interns a year. In my talk, I want to introduce the lab and its activities to you.
M.Sc. Gianvito Chiarella talks about: “A source of heralded atom-photon entanglement for quantum networking”
Communication in quantum networks suffers from photon loss. Errors can be mitigated with a herald at the receiving node, which however makes the protocol slow and prone to false heralds. We implement an entanglement herald at the sending node using cascaded two-photon emission of a single atom into two fiber cavities and highlight its potential for noise-limited long-distance quantum links.
