Compact detector for atom-atom correlations on an atom chip

Conny Glaser, Dominik Jakab, Florian Jessen +3 more

We present a compact, ionization-based detector for the state-selective and spatially resolved measurement of individual Rydberg atoms trapped in the vicinity of an atom chip. The system combines an electrostatic lens system for guiding charged particles with an array of channel electron multipliers (CEMs) capable of detecting both ions and electrons produced by ionization. Designed for quantum information applications, this device enables the detection of correlations between spatially separated Rydberg qubits. Additionally, the electrodes provide compensation for stray electric fields and control over particle trajectories. The imaging system achieves a total magnification of more than 12, with a single-axis magnification up to 200, while maintaining low aberrations. We characterize the performance of the system using a charged particle trajectory simulation software and discuss how a coincidence measurement of ions and electrons can be used to calibrate the detection efficiency. This detector enables high-fidelity measurement of multiple Rydberg atoms and is well-suited for applications in cavity-mediated quantum gates.

Absorption Spectroscopic Studies of Chip-scale Rubidium Atomic Vapour Cells in a Compact 3D Printed Magneto-Optic Package

This paper describes the design, development and spectroscopic studies of chip-scale Rb atomic vapour cell developed in the authors’ laboratory. A compact magneto-optic package for the chip-scale Rb cell comprising of TEC integrated VCSEL source, silicon p-i-n photo detector and a hemispherical lens for light collimation is reported. The package is manufactured using commercial 3D printing technology. A PC based data acquisition system has been developed to provide real time analysis of the captured spectral data of the Rb chip by laser interrogation of the D1 hyperfine transition. Doppler broadened absorption resonance lines of technological importance have been recorded for transitions 85 Rb( 2 S 1/2 F=2→ 2 P 1/2 F′ =2,3) having absorption amplitude 1.24 V and FWHM 850 MHz and 87 Rb( 2 S 1/2 F=2 → 2 P 1/2 F′ =1,2) has absorption amplitude 0.47 V and FWHM 567 MHz at cell temperature of 70 o C . Further, the chip-scale Rb atomic cell in the magneto-optical package will be explored to develop atomic sensors for space applications.

Inline SNSPDs coupled to photonic bound states for advanced on-chip detection functionalities

Filippo Martinelli, Anton N. Vetlugin, Shuyu Dong +4 more

We present the concept of inline detection with integrated superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs), a promising approach to miniaturize quantum photonic circuits. By cascading multiple nanowires with controlled partial absorption along a single waveguide, complex detection functionalities can be realized within a compact footprint. To enable inline detectors, we developed an unconventional integration platform based on photonic bound states in etchless polymer waveguides that mitigates parasitic losses at the detectors termination. We demonstrate integrated devices with on-chip efficiency exceeding 80%, recovery time of less than 2 ns, and intrinsic jitter of less than 70 ps. As a proof of principle, we implement an inline Hanbury Brown and Twiss interferometry and photon number resolving detector. With a footprint of 60 × 6 µm², it is one of the most compact demonstrations of its kind to date. The concept of inline quantum measurements could be further developed to support miniaturization of more complex circuit functionalities, such as higher-order correlation measurements, quantum state tomography, and multi-photon subtraction within a compact footprint.
