A long-lived spectrally multiplexed solid-state optical quantum memory for high-rate quantum repeaters

Antariksha Das, Mohsen Falamarzi Askarani, Jacob H. Davidson +8 more

Long optical storage times are an essential requirement to establish high-rate entanglement distribution over large distances using memory-based quantum repeaters. Rare earth ion-doped crystals are arguably well-suited candidates for building such quantum memories. Toward this end, we investigate the 795.32 nm 3H6 ↔ 3H4 transition of 1% thulium-doped yttrium gallium garnet crystal (Tm3+:Y3Ga5O12 : Tm3+:YGG). Most essentially, we find that the optical coherence time can reach 1.1 ms, and, using laser pulses, we demonstrate optical storage based on the atomic frequency comb (AFC) protocol up to 100 µs. In addition, we demonstrate multiplexed storage, including feed-forward selection, shifting, and filtering of spectral modes, as well as quantum state storage using members of non-classical photon pairs. Our results show that Tm:YGG can be a potential candidate for creating multiplexed quantum memories with long optical storage times.Long optical storage times are an essential requirement to establish high-rate entanglement distribution over large distances using memory-based quantum repeaters.

Long-Lived Solid-State Optical Memory for High-Rate Quantum Repeaters

We argue that long optical storage times are required to establish entanglement at high rates over large distances using memory-based quantum repeaters. Triggered by this conclusion, we investigate the $795.325\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{nm}}^{3}$ ${\mathrm{H}}_{6}\ensuremath{\leftrightarrow}{^{3}\mathrm{H}}_{4}$ transition of $\mathrm{Tm}:{\mathrm{Y}}_{3}{\text{Ga}}_{5}{\mathrm{O}}_{12}$ (Tm:YGG). Most importantly, we find that the optical coherence time can reach 1.1 ms, and, using laser pulses, we demonstrate optical storage based on the atomic frequency comb protocol during up to $100\text{ }\text{ }\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{s}$ as well as a memory decay time ${T}_{m}$ of $13.1\text{ }\text{ }\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{s}$. Possibilities of how to narrow the gap between the measured value of ${T}_{m}$ and its maximum of $275\text{ }\text{ }\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{s}$ are discussed. In addition, we demonstrate multiplexed storage, including with feed-forward selection, shifting and filtering of spectral modes, as well as quantum state storage using members of nonclassical photon pairs. Our results show the potential of Tm:YGG for creating multiplexed quantum memories with long optical storage times, and open the path to repeater-based quantum networks with high entanglement distribution rates.We argue that long optical storage times are required to establish entanglement at high rates over large distances using memory-based quantum repeaters.
