Abstract
The basic concepts of quantum entanglement have been presented in previous chapters. In this chapter various advanced topics of quantum entanglement will be discussed. Section 6.2 describes a scheme for establishing entanglement between atoms at spatially separated nodes through the exchange of photons. In this way a quantum network can be built combining the virtues of trapped atom/ion systems, i.e. long storage times and local quantum state processing, with the advantages of quantum optics, i.e. flexible and reliable quantum communication over long distances.
