We propose a quantum interface which applies multiple passes of a pulse of light through an atomic sample with phase/polarization rotations in between the passes. Our proposal does not require nonclassical light input or measurements on the system, and it predicts rapidly growing entanglement of light and atoms from just coherent inputs. The proposed interface makes it possible to achieve a number of tasks within quantum-information processing, including teleportation between light and atoms, quantum memory for light, and squeezing of atomic and light variables.

A new version of quantum teleportation of optical images in continuous variables is considered. The new scheme is based on quantum entanglement in continuous variables between light fields of different frequencies and allows wavelength conversion between input and teleported images. The protocol of quantum teleportation with frequency conversion can be used as a combined part of light/matter interface in quantum parallel data processing and in a parallel quantum memory.

The commonly used teleportation-based interfaces between light and matter are very sensitive to noise of matter systems and also to the optical in-coupling and out-coupling losses. These imperfections produce classical noise in the teleportation interface, which significantly limits the transmission of quantum states. We propose robust quantum interfaces between weakly coupled continuous variables of light and matter. The state transfer introduces only pure loss, without any additional classical noise, despite a presence of in-coupling and out-coupling optical losses. These interfaces qualitatively overcome commonly used interfaces based on quantum teleportation.
