Universal Photonic Quantum Interface for a Quantum Network

Jian Wang, Yun‐Feng Huang, Chao Zhang +7 more

A quantum network consisting of more than one physical system can combine the advantages and avoid the inherent drawbacks of those different systems. However, a compatible quantum interface is needed to connect them and form a larger quantum network. The authors use nondegenerate narrow-band polarization-entangled photon pairs to entangle different nodes, creating a universal photonic quantum interface that will significantly aid in the development of more complex networks, for quantum communication or distributed quantum computing.

A photonic quantum interface for hybrid quantum network

Jian Wang, Yun‐Feng Huang, Chao Zhang +7 more

The hybrid quantum network, a universal form of quantum network which is aimed for quantum communication and distributed quantum computation, is that the quantum nodes in it are realized with different physical systems. This universal form of quantum network can combine the advantages and avoid the inherent defects of the different physical system. However, one obstacle standing in the way is the compatible photonic quantum interface. One possible solution is using non-degenerate, narrow-band, entangled photon pairs as the photonic interface. Here, for the first time, we generate nondegenrate narrow-band polarization-entangled photon pairs in cavity-enhanced spontaneous parametric down-conversion process. The bandwidths and central wavelengths of the signal and idler photons are 9 MHz at 935 nm and 9.5 MHz at 880 nm, which are compatible with trapped ion system and solid-state quantum memory system. The entanglement of the photon source is certified by quantum state tomography, showing a fidelity of 89.6% between the generated quantum state with a Bell state. Besides, a strong violation against Bell inequality with 2.36+/-0.03 further confirms the entanglement property of the photon pairs. Our method is suitable for the hybrid quantum network and will take a big step in this field.

Pulsed Excitation of a Single Atom

Sandoko Kosen

Interfacing different physical systems is important in the context of building a practical quantum information network. As a first step towards interfacing different physical systems, we aim to demonstrate the indistinguishability between single photons produced via two different processes by observing the Hong-Ou-Mandel interference effect. The single photons are produced via a four-wave mixing process in a cold atomic ensemble of Rb and spontaneous emission from a single Rb atom in an optical dipole trap. This thesis reports the progress of the single Rb atom setup towards achieving this goal. We measure the temporal profile of the spontaneously emitted single photon and show that the characteristic decay time is in accordance with the values in the literature. Finally, we demonstrate that we can excite the atom with an excitation probability of 78% using a π pulse.
