Most quantum system with short-ranged interactions show a fast decay of entanglement with the distance. In this Letter, we focus on the peculiarity of some systems to distribute entanglement between distant parties. Even in realistic models, like the spin-1 Heisenberg chain, sizable entanglement is present between arbitrarily distant particles. We show that long-distance entanglement appears for values of the microscopic parameters which do not coincide with known quantum critical points, hence signaling a transition detected only by genuine quantum correlations.

We propose a scheme to generate nonreciprocal entanglement and one-way steering between two distant ferrimagnetic microspheres in waveguide electromagnonics, where the magnon modes of two yttrium iron garnet (YIG) spheres are simultaneously coupled to each other through coherent and dissipative interactions. By matching the coherent interaction with its corresponding dissipative counterpart, unidirectional coupling between two magnon modes can be realized, and then in the presence of significant Kerr nonlinearities, we can obtain strong entanglement and one-way steering. Depending on the direction of the microwave propagation, the long-distance entanglement and steering can be generated nonreciprocally.

Article Synopsis
- - Quantum networks facilitate secure communication by enabling tasks like Quantum Conference Key Agreement (QCKA), which allows multiple users to share secure keys.
- - Traditional QCKA struggles with long-distance key distribution due to the delicate nature of Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states, but Measurement-Device-Independent QCKA (MDI-QCKA) offers a solution by improving security and reducing loopholes.
- - Recent advancements in three-photon GHZ interference technology led to a successful MDI-QCKA experiment over 60 km, achieving a secret key rate of 45.5 bits/s and marking progress towards practical long-distance quantum communications.
Article Synopsis
- Quantum conference key agreement (QCKA) allows secure sharing of conference keys among several participants, but current methods using entangled photons face limitations in key rate and scalability due to practical challenges.
- The proposed source-independent QCKA utilizes the post-matching method, which can work within existing entangled photon distribution networks, ensuring unconditional security even against sophisticated attacks.
- By improving the conference key rate from O(η) in previous protocols, the new approach shows significant advantages in performance over long distances, suggesting promising applications for future quantum networks.

A full-fledged quantum network relies on the formation of entangled links between remote location with the help of quantum repeaters. The famous Duan-Lukin-Cirac-Zoller quantum repeater protocol is based on long distance single-photon interference (SPI), which not only requires high phase stability but also cannot generate maximally entangled state. Here, we propose a quantum repeater protocol using the idea of post-matching, which retains the same efficiency as the SPI protocol, reduces the phase-stability requirement and can generate maximally entangled state in principle.

Quantum networks, relying on the distribution of quantum entanglement between remote locations, have the potential to transform quantum computation and secure long-distance quantum communication. However, a fundamental ingredient for fibre-based implementations of such networks, namely entanglement between a single spin and a photon directly emitted at telecom wavelengths, has been unattainable so far. Here, we use a negatively charged exciton in an InAs/InP quantum dot to implement an optically active spin qubit taking advantage of the lowest-loss transmission window, the telecom C-band.
