Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Studies on quantum communications and quantum computing, of which operating principles are based on quantum mechanics, are rapidly developing because of the demands on secure, large capacity, and high speed information processing. In this work, we aim at realizing the basic technologies of quantum repeaters indispensable for quantum communications using electron spins confined in electrically controllable quantum dots (QDs). First, we achieved the detection of single photo-electron spins and verified the angular momentum transfer between circularly polarized photons and electron spins, indicating the feasibility of quantum state transfer. Furthermore, we accomplished the simultaneous detections of a photon of an entangled photon pair and an electron generated by the other photon of the pair in a QD. For the first time to the electrically controllable QDs, we obtained a crucial achievement toward entanglement distribution among remote locations, which is required for quantum repeaters.
