Abstract

The combination of quantum teleportation1 and quantum memory2,3,4,5 of photonic qubits is essential for future implementations of large-scale quantum communication6 and measurement-based quantum computation7,8. Both steps have been achieved separately in many proof-of-principle experiments9,10,11,12,13,14, but the demonstration of memory-built-in teleportation of photonic qubits remains an experimental challenge. Here, we demonstrate teleportation between photonic (flying) and atomic (stationary) qubits. In our experiment, an unknown polarization state of a single photon is teleported over 7 m onto a remote atomic qubit that also serves as a quantum memory. The teleported state can be stored and successfully read out for up to 8 μs. Besides being of fundamental interest, teleportation between photonic and atomic qubits with the direct inclusion of a readable quantum memory represents a step towards an efficient and scalable quantum network2,3,4,5,6,7,8.
