Abstract

We demonstrate the storage of light-matter entanglement between a telecom photon and an integrated solid-state quantum memory. The quantum memory is a fibre-coupled waveguide written in a rare-earth doped crystal.

Storage and analysis of light-matter entanglement in a fiber-integrated system

Jelena V. Rakonjac, Giacomo Corrielli, Dario Lago-Rivera +5 more

The deployment of a full-fledged quantum internet poses the challenge of finding adequate building blocks for entanglement distribution between remote quantum nodes. A practical system would combine propagation in optical fibers with quantum memories for light, leveraging on the existing communication network while featuring the scalability required to extend to network sizes. Here, we demonstrate a fiber-integrated quantum memory entangled with a photon at telecommunication wavelength. The storage device is based on a fiber-pigtailed laser-written waveguide in a rare earth-doped solid and allows an all-fiber stable addressing of the memory. The analysis of the entanglement is performed using fiber-based interferometers. Our results feature orders-of-magnitude advances in terms of storage time and efficiency for integrated storage of light-matter entanglement and constitute a substantial step forward toward quantum networks using integrated devices.

Integrated Optical Memory Based on Laser-Written Waveguides

Giacomo Corrielli, Alessandro Seri, Margherita Mazzera +2 more

Quantum memory is an essential building block for applications in quantum information science, where scalability and integrability are needed for progress toward large-scale architectures. The authors present a platform for integrated photonic memory, based on laser-written waveguides in rare-earth-doped crystals. The coherence properties of the optically active ions persist after micromachining, enabling proof-of-principle light storage using the full atomic-frequency-comb protocol. This is a pioneering demonstration of on-demand optical memory on a chip.
