TLDR
In this article, a single photon generated via Rydberg blockade in one atomic ensemble is stored in another atomic ensemble via electromagnetically induced transparency, and this photon is retrieved and interfered with a second photon to perform joint Bell-state measurement (BSM).
Abstract
In this paper we report an experiment that verifies an atomic-ensemble quantum memory via a measurement-device-independent scheme. A single photon generated via Rydberg blockade in one atomic ensemble is stored in another atomic ensemble via electromagnetically induced transparency. After storage for a long duration, this photon is retrieved and interfered with a second photon to perform joint Bell-state measurement (BSM). Quantum state for each photon is chosen based on a quantum random number generator respectively in each run. By evaluating correlations between the random states and BSM results, we certify that our memory is genuinely entanglement-preserving.

Linear optical quantum computing with photonic qubits

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the original theory and its improvements, and a few examples of experimental two-qubit gates are given, and the use of realistic components, the errors they induce in the computation, and how these errors can be corrected is discussed.

Quantum information with Rydberg atoms

TL;DR: Rydberg atoms with principal quantum number $n⪢1$ have exaggerated atomic properties including dipole-dipole interactions that scale as ${n}^{4}$ and radiative lifetimes that scale at least{n}−3}$ as mentioned in this paper, and it was proposed a decade ago to implement quantum gates between neutral atom qubits.

Observation of coherent optical information storage in an atomic medium using halted light pulses

TL;DR: A theoretical model is presented that reveals that the system is self-adjusting to minimize dissipative loss during the ‘read’ and ‘write’ operations, anticipating applications of this phenomenon for quantum information processing.
