Coherent spin-wave processor of stored optical pulses

Mateusz Mazelanik, Michal P. Parniak, Adam Leszczyński +2 more

Abstract A device being a pinnacle of development of an optical quantum memory should combine the capabilities of storage, inter-communication, and processing of stored information. In particular, the ability to capture a train of optical pulses, interfere them in an arbitrary way and finally, perform on-demand release could realize arbitrary optical computation. Here we demonstrate the operation of a coherent optical memory being able to store optical pulses in the form of collective spin-wave excitations in a two-dimensional wavevector space. During storage, we perform complex beamsplitter operations and demonstrate a variety of protocols implemented at the processing stage, including real-time controlled interference of a pair of spin-wave modes with 95% visibility. The highly multimode structure of the presented memory lends itself to enhancing classical optical telecommunication, as well as parallel processing of optical qubits at the single-photon level.

Quantum-memory-based spin-wave processor for light

Michal P. Parniak, Mateusz Mazelanik, Adam Leszczyński +3 more

High performance quantum networks require extensive utilization of multiplexing techniques, relaying on photonic spatial and temporal structure. Multimode quantum memories for light, where photons are stored in the form of collective atomic excitations, may constitute building blocks of such networks; however, a requirement arises to implement complex linear operations on the stored excitations. In our photonic processor we experimentally demonstrate how the off-resonant ac-Stark shift (ACS) may be employed to manipulate the spatial and temporal structure of photons stored in a highly multimode quantum memory as the collective atomic excitations – spin waves.

Multimode Memories in Atomic Ensembles

J. Nunn, K. Reim, K. C. Lee +4 more

The ability to store multiple optical modes in a quantum memory allows for increased efficiency of quantum communication and computation. Here we compute the multimode capacity of a variety of quantum memory protocols based on light storage in ensembles of atoms. We find that adding a controlled inhomogeneous broadening improves this capacity significantly.

Quantum memory for images: A quantum hologram

Denis V. Vasilyev, I. V. Sokolov, Eugene Simon Polzik

Matter-light quantum interface and quantum memory for light are important ingredients of quantum information protocols, such as quantum networks, distributed quantum computation, etc. [P. Zoller et al., Eur. Phys. J. D 36, 203 (2005)]. In this paper we present a spatially multimode scheme for quantum memory for light, which we call a quantum hologram. Our approach uses a multiatom ensemble which has been shown to be efficient for a single spatial mode quantum memory. Due to the multiatom nature of the ensemble and to the optical parallelism it is capable of storing many spatial modes, a feature critical for the present proposal. A quantum hologram with the fidelity exceeding that of classical hologram will be able to store quantum features of an image, such as multimode superposition and entangled quantum states, something that a standard hologram is unable to achieve.
