We demonstrate a fully integrated platform for experiments with warm Rb atoms and chip-integrated high-Q (≈ 105) photonic microcavities. Pulsed activation of an alkali dispenser pill enables temperature-independent control of Rb density and resulting cavity interactions.

Quantum Logic with Cavity Photons From Single Atoms

Annemarie Holleczek, Oliver Barter, Allison Rubenok +9 more

We demonstrate quantum logic using narrow linewidth photons that are produced with an a priori nonprobabilistic scheme from a single ^{87}Rb atom strongly coupled to a high-finesse cavity. We use a controlled-not gate integrated into a photonic chip to entangle these photons, and we observe nonclassical correlations between photon detection events separated by periods exceeding the travel time across the chip by 3 orders of magnitude. This enables quantum technology that will use the properties of both narrow-band single photon sources and integrated quantum photonics.

A single-atom detector integrated on an atom chip: fabrication, characterization and application

Dennis Heine, Wolfgang Rohringer, D Fischer +7 more

We describe a robust and reliable fluorescence detector for single atoms that is fully integrated on an atom chip. The detector allows spectrally and spatially selective detection of atoms, reaching a single-atom detection efficiency of 66%. It consists of a tapered lensed single-mode fiber for precise delivery of excitation light and a multi-mode fiber to collect the fluorescence. The fibers are mounted in lithographically defined holding structures on the atom chip. Neutral 87 Rb atoms propagating freely in a magnetic guide are detected and the noise of their fluorescence emission is analyzed. The variance of the photon distribution allows us to determine the number of detected photons per atom and from there the atom detection efficiency. The second-order intensity correlation function of the fluorescence shows near-perfect photon anti-bunching and signs of damped Rabi oscillations. With simple improvements, one can increase the detection efficiency to 95%.
