Time gating of heralded single photons for atomic memories.
We demonstrate a method for time gating the standard heralded cw spontaneous parametric downconverted single-photon source by using pulsed pumping of an optical parametric oscillator below threshold. The narrow bandwidth, high purity, high spectral brightness, and pseudodeterministic character make the source highly suitable for light-atom interfaces with atomic memories.
متن کاملCavity-enhanced single photons from a quantum dot
Single-photon sources rarely emit two or more photons in the same pulse, compared to a Poisson-distributed source of the same intensity, and have numerous applications in quantum information science. The quality of such a source is evaluated based on three criteria: high efficiency, small multi-photon probability, and quantum indistinguishability. We have demonstrated a single-photon source bas...
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 کاملSingle-photon bus connecting spin-wave quantum memories
Generation of non-classical correlations (or entanglement) between atoms, photons or combinations thereof 9–11 is at the heart of quantum information science. Of particular interest are material systems serving as quantum memories that can be interconnected optically . An ensemble of atoms can store a quantum state in the form of a magnon—which is a quantized collective spin excitation—that can...
متن کاملHeralded generation of ultrafast single photons in pure quantum States.
We present an experimental demonstration of heralded single photons prepared in pure quantum states from a parametric down-conversion source. It is shown that, through controlling the modal structure of the photon pair emission, one can generate pairs in factorable states and thence eliminate the need for spectral filters in multiple-source interference schemes. Indistinguishable heralded photo...
