- Restoring polarization entanglement from solid-state photon sources by time-dependent photonic control (2026) · npj Quantum Information · doi
The inability to realize sources that are simultaneously deterministic, high-fidelity, and scalable in solid-state platforms. The suppression of observable entanglement due to unresolved phase evolution. The lack of a strategy for removing the imprint of coherent emitter dynamics on photonic entanglement in integrated platforms.

The creation of remote entanglement with sufficiently high fidelity and high detection efficiency over long distances is a challenging task. The authors need to mitigate the effects of stray electric fields on the Rydberg state. The photon recoil effect on the atom needs to be suppressed without introducing noise.
