چکیده
We perform a review of various approaches to the implementation of quantum memories, with an emphasis on activities within the quantum memory sub-project of the EU integrated project “Qubit Applications”. We begin with a brief overview over different applications for quantum memories and different types of quantummemories. We discuss the most important criteria for assessing quantummemory performance and the most important physical requirements. Then we review the different approaches represented in “Qubit Applications” in some detail. They include solid-state atomic ensembles, NV centers, quantum dots, single atoms, atomic gases and optical phonons in diamond. We compare the different approaches using the discussed criteria.

The quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) is considered as an alternative tocomplementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology based on physicalphenomena like Coulomb interaction to overcome the physical limitations of thistechnology. The decoder is one of the important components in digital circuits, whichcan be used in more comprehensive circuits such as full adde...
متن کاملQuantum memories: emerging applications and recent advances
Quantum light-matter interfaces are at the heart of photonic quantum technologies. Quantum memories for photons, where non-classical states of photons are mapped onto stationary matter states and preserved for subsequent retrieval, are technical realizations enabled by exquisite control over interactions between light and matter. The ability of quantum memories to synchronize probabilistic even...
متن کاملUltranarrow-band photon-pair source compatible with solid state quantum memories and telecommunication networks.
We report on a source of ultranarrow-band photon pairs generated by widely nondegenerate cavity-enhanced spontaneous down-conversion. The source is designed to be compatible with Pr(3+) solid state quantum memories and telecommunication optical fibers, with signal and idler photons close to 606 nm and 1436 nm, respectively. Both photons have a spectral bandwidth around 2 MHz, matching the bandw...

We demonstrate a photonic circuit with integrated long-lived quantum memories. Pre-selected quantum nodes diamond micro-waveguides containing single, stable, and negatively charged nitrogen vacancy centers are deterministically integrated into low-loss silicon nitride waveguides. Each quantum memory node efficiently couples into the single-mode waveguide (> 1 Mcps collected into the waveguide) ...
متن کاملA Possible Mechanism of Biological Memories in terms of Quantum Fluids
A mechanism of memories, especially biological memories, is studied in terms of quantum fluids. Two-dimensional flows in central potentials Va(ρ) = −a gaρ 2(a−1) (a 6= 0 and ρ = √ x2 + y2) have zero-energy eigenstates that degenerate infinitely for all a. It is shown that stable standing waves constructed from the zero-energy flows are confined in various types of polygons which can be the mini...

Quantum memories allowing reversible transfer of quantum states between light and matter are central to quantum repeaters, quantum networks and linear optics quantum computing. Significant progress regarding the faithful transfer of quantum information has been reported in recent years. However, none of these demonstrations confirm that the re-emitted photons remain suitable for two-photon inte...
