Efficient entanglement distillation without quantum memory

Entanglement distribution between distant parties is an essential component to most quantum communication protocols, but losses and decoherence present in real systems degrade it. Here the authors demonstrate an efficient iterative entanglement distillation protocol that does not rely on quantum mem...
