However, it can also provide a mechanism to transfer their quantum state over larger distances. Here, we demonstrate such a form of teleportation, across a metallic island within which the electrons are trapped much longer than their quantum lifetime. This effect originates from the low temperature freezing of the island's charge $Q$ which, in the presence of a single connected electronic channel, enforces a one-to-one correspondence between incoming and outgoing electrons. Such high-fidelity quantum state imprinting is established between well-separated injection and emission locations, through two-path interferences in the integer quantum Hall regime. The added electron quantum phase of $2\\pi Q/e$ can allow for strong and decoherence-free entanglement of propagating electrons, and notably of flying qubits.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-02-20T14:21:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "coulomb interaction", "fermi sea", "integer quantum hall regime", "single connected electronic channel", "added electron quantum phase" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
