Technique of quantum memory on the basis of a photon echo in gases

Sergey A. Moiseev, M. I. Noskov

The technique of quantum memory based on the use of a photon echo in gases is studied theoretically taking into account three-dimensional specific features in the propagation of light fields and the motion of atoms in a gas. Analytical solutions describing the effects of atomic motion and diffraction of light fields on the properties of the quantum state of light being reconstructed are obtained. Estimates of the parameters of light fields that are optimum for realizing the quantum memory based on a photon echo in gaseous media are presented.

Photon-echo quantum memory with efficient multipulse readings

Sergey A. Moiseev, Byoung Seung HAM

We present a photon-echo quantum memory technique for manipulating quantum states of photons interacting with an atomic gas medium. The technique offers vast potential for the complete nonlocal-in-time multipulse reconstruction of a stored light as a superposition of echo fields, irradiated from the medium at different moments of time. Using this technique the dynamic control of quantum states is effectively possible by simply varying the laser parameters.

Complete reconstruction of one and two photon fields using the novel photon echo techniques

S. A. Moiseev, M. I. Noskov

The novel variants of the photon echo technique for the storage and complete reconstruction of the quantum states of one and two photon fields are theoretically investigated. Such new possible schemes are proposed for two types of three-level macroscopic coherent media, where the specific spectral and temporal properties of the quantum dynamics are analyzed. Special physical analysis is devoted to the complete reconstruction of the mapped quantum states at the multipulse restoring, its spatial, temporal and spectral properties. The specific possibilities of the proposed schemes for the quantum computations are also discussed. (Summary only available)

Impossibility of faithfully storing single photons with the three-pulse photon echo

Nicolas Sangouard, Christoph Simon, Jiří Minář +6 more

The three-pulse photon echo is a well-known technique to store intense light pulses in an inhomogeneously broadened atomic ensemble. This protocol is attractive because it is relatively simple and it is well suited for the storage of multiple temporal modes. Furthermore, it offers very long storage times, greater than the phase relaxation time. Here, we consider the three-pulse photon echo in both two- and three-level systems as a potential technique for the storage of light at the single-photon level. By explicit calculations, we show that the ratio between the echo signal corresponding to a single-photon input and the noise is smaller than one. This severely limits the achievable fidelity of the quantum state storage, making the three-pulse photon echo unsuitable for single-photon quantum memory.

Quantum memory photon echo-like techniques in solids
