Ion crystal transducer for strong coupling between single ions and single photons
arXiv:1102.4141 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.107.030501
Abstract
A new approach for realization of a quantum interface between single photons and single ions in an ion crystal is proposed and analyzed. In our approach the coupling between a single photon and a single ion is enhanced via the collective degrees of freedom of the ion crystal. Applications including single-photon generation, a memory for a quantum repeater, and a deterministic photon-photon, photon-phonon, or photon-ion entangler are discussed.
