This thesis reports on the generation of entanglement between two single atoms, located
in different laboratories at a distance of 21 m. The entanglement is established in the
conceptually most fundamental way - by exchange of a single photon. To this end, we efficiently create high-fidelity entanglement between one of the atoms and a photon, and then faithfully map the entanglement onto the other atom. Both the photon emission and absorption process are facilitated by employing high-finesse optical resonators that strongly enhance the coupling between light and matter.
