Abstract

We establish photonic interaction between two distant single calcium ions. Triggered single photons with controlled temporal shape are released in the sender ion; their absorption by the receiver ion is detected employing a quantum-jump scheme.

Interaction of a Single Trapped Ion with Heralded Single Photons

We demonstrate single trapped ion-single photon interaction by the detection of quantum jumps, strongly correlated with the detection of the quantum-correlated heralding photon. This is a step towards controlling single-photon absorption and transferring photon-to-atom entanglement.

We generate high-rate single photons in a single quantum state by spontaneous Raman scattering in a trapped ion. Photon frequency, polarization and temporal shape are laser-controlled. The photons create quantum jumps in another, distant ion.

Single Atom – Single Photon Interfaces

Felix Rohde, Carsten Schuck, Markus Hennrich +7 more

In an experimental system of two distant ion traps we trap simultaneously strings of Ca+ ions and observe Hong-Ou-Mandel interference between their scattered photons. We also generate entangled photon pairs whose frequency and bandwidth are matched to an absorption line in the ions, and work towards heralded single photon – single ion interaction.

We present a tunable, frequency-stabilized, narrow-bandwidth source of frequency-degenerate, entangled photon pairs, which can address the two D-P transitions in 40Ca+ ions. We also demonstrate single ion-single photon interaction by the detection of quantum jumps.

Single Photon Source for an Ion Trap Quantum Network

Trapped between high numerical aperture laser objectives, a single calcium ion is converted into a high-efficiency source of single photons, with controlled coherence properties. Thereby, various schemes to establish entanglement between remote ions are probed.

Emission and Absorption of Single Photons by Single Atoms

For quantum networking, we show high-rate single-mode emission of bandwidth-tunable single photons from a single ion, and heralded absorption by the ion of single photons from SPDC photon pairs. The heralded absorption preserves entanglement.
