Abstract
Trapped ions are a leading candidate for the "stationary qubits" of a quantum network. However, thus far remote entanglement rates have primarily been limited by low photon collection efficiency. In this work, we propose an architecture for a long-range, high-entanglement-rate quantum repeater. Our strategy involves using a micromirror fiber-based cavity, integrated with a surface electrode trap at cryogenic temperatures, to achieve high photon collection efficiency while maintaining high mechanical stability and low ion motional heating. The emitted photons can be efficiently and coherently converted to telecom wavelengths, facilitating long-distance networking.Proceedings Title
