We demonstrate long-distance quantum teleportation using two engineered, dissimilar quantum dots. The network combines fiber links with a 270 m free-space channel stabilized and synchronized via GPS. The system reaches 82 ± 1% fidelity, clearly surpassing the classical limit, showing the feasibility of solid-state quantum relays. Congratulations to our team members F. Salusti, J.N Claro-Rodriguez and G. de Pascalis for their involvement.

We demonstrate a scalable quantum networking testbed running on Deutsche Telekom’s metropolitan fiber network in Berlin. Using commercial quantum devices and standard telecom hardware, we distribute polarization-entangled photons over 10 m to ~100 km while coexisting with bidirectional classical traffic. With active polarization stabilization, we achieve 85–99% entanglement fidelity and reliable multiday operation, confirming the feasibility of…

We develop an efficient method to compute time-integrated, frequency-resolved photon correlations for pulsed excitation. Using the sensor approach, we show that spectral filtering reduces multiphoton noise and enhances single-photon purity in time-bin states. Filtering the central peak of a driven two-level system improves coherence and time-bin entanglement fidelity, making spectral filtering crucial for optimizing pulsed quantum light…
