Telecommunication-wavelength solid-state memory at the single photon level.
We demonstrate experimentally the storage and retrieval of weak coherent light fields at telecommunication wavelengths in a solid. Light pulses at the single photon level are stored for a time up to 600 ns in an erbium-doped Y2SiO5 crystal at 2.6 K and retrieved on demand. The memory is based on photon echoes with controlled reversible inhomogeneous broadening, which is realized here for the fi...
متن کاملFaithful solid state optical memory with dynamically decoupled spin wave storage.
We report a high fidelity optical memory in which dynamical decoupling is used to extend the storage time. This is demonstrated in a rare-earth doped crystal in which optical coherences were transferred to nuclear spin coherences and then protected against environmental noise by dynamical decoupling, leading to storage times of up to 4.2 ms. An interference experiment shows that relative phases...
متن کاملSolid State Spin-Wave Quantum Memory for Time-Bin Qubits.
We demonstrate the first solid-state spin-wave optical quantum memory with on-demand read-out. Using the full atomic frequency comb scheme in a Pr(3+):Y2SiO5 crystal, we store weak coherent pulses at the single-photon level with a signal-to-noise ratio >10. Narrow-band spectral filtering based on spectral hole burning in a second Pr(3+):Y2SiO5 crystal is used to filter out the excess noise crea...
متن کاملSolid-state single-photon emitters
631 Photonic technologies are becoming increasingly prevalent in our daily lives. After decades of rapid advances, light sources — especially lasers and light-emitting diodes — have become high-performance, yet low-cost and reliable components, driving the Internet and lighting cities. A new frontier of research is the development of non-classical light sources: sources that produce streams of ...
متن کاملStorage of multiple single-photon pulses emitted from a quantum dot in a solid-state quantum memory.
Quantum repeaters are critical components for distributing entanglement over long distances in presence of unavoidable optical losses during transmission. Stimulated by the Duan-Lukin-Cirac-Zoller protocol, many improved quantum repeater protocols based on quantum memories have been proposed, which commonly focus on the entanglement-distribution rate. Among these protocols, the elimination of m...
