Abstract
We present several interface protocols between a single trapped atom and
single photons from an entangled-pair source, among them the quantum
teleportation of a qubit state from a single trapped $^40$Ca$^+$ ion onto a
single photon. As appropriate Bell measurement, the teleportation protocol
employs heralded absorption of one photon of the polarisation-entangled pair,
which allows us to identify all four Bell states. Further protocols enabled by
heralded absorption comprise quantum state mapping from a single photon to a
single ion and transfer of polarization entanglement of a photon pair to
entanglement between a single ion and the partner photon.
