We demonstrate teleportation of quantum bits between two single atoms in distant laboratories. Using a time-resolved photonic Bell-state measurement, we achieve a teleportation fidelity of (88.0± 1.5) %, largely determined by our entanglement fidelity. The low photon collection efficiency in free space is overcome by trapping each atom in an optical cavity. The resulting success probability of 0.1 % is almost 5 orders of magnitude larger than in previous experiments with remote material qubits. It is mainly limited by photon propagation and detection losses and can be enhanced with a cavity-based deterministic Bell-state measurement.The faithful transfer of quantum information between distant memories that form the nodes of a quantum network is a major goal in applied quantum science [1]. One way to achieve this is via direct transfer, e.g., by the coherent exchange of a single photon [2]. Over large distances, however, the inevitable losses in any quantum channel render this scenario unrealistic, as its efficiency decreases exponentially with the distance between the network nodes. For any classical information, the solution is simple: It can be amplified at intermediate nodes of the network. It can also be copied before transmission, allowing for a new transmission attempt should the previous one have failed. For a quantum state, the no-cloning theorem states that this is impossible. Therefore, quantum repeater schemes have been proposed to establish long-distance entanglement using photons and memories [3,4]. This entanglement can then be used as a resource for the transfer of quantum information via teleportation [5].The underlying principle of teleportation was first realized with photonic qubits [6][7][8] and since then has been exploited in many experiments [9,10]. Teleportation between matter qubits was first achieved with trapped ions [11,12], albeit over a distance limited to a few micrometers owing to the short-range Coulomb interaction. Teleportation between distant material qubits, however, requires photons distributing entanglement, as was demonstrated with two single ions separated by about 1 m [13]. The low photon-collection efficiency in free space, however, prevents scaling of that approach to larger networks. We eliminate this obstacle by trapping two remote single atoms each in an optical cavity. This allows for an in principle deterministic creation of atom-photon entanglement and atom-to-photon state mapping using a vacuum-stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (vSTI-RAP) technique [14][15][16]. To teleport the stationary qubit at the sender atom, encoded in two Zeeman states of the atomic ground-state manifold, we map it onto a photonic qubit and perform a Bell-state measurement (BSM) between this photon and that of an entangled atom-photon state originating from the receiver atom [17,18]. Compared to realizations with atoms in free space, the use of cavities boosts the overall efficiency by almost 5 orders of magnitude [13].In our experiment, single 87 Rb atoms trapped in highfinesse optical ...
