Spatial spin-wave modulator for quantum memory assisted adaptive measurements
arXiv:1902.07255 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevApplied.11.034049
Abstract
Utilization of the spatial degree of freedom vastly enhances informational capacity of light at the cost of stringent requirements on the processing devices. Multi-mode quantum memories constitute a viable candidate for quantum and classical information processing; however, full utilization of the assets of high-dimensionality requires a flexible processing technique. We employ a spatially varying ac-Stark effect to perform arbitrary 1D phase modulation of a coherent spin-wave state stored in a wavevector-multiplexed quantum memory. A far-field and an interferometric near-field characterizations of the introduced phase profiles are presented. Additionally, coherence between temporally separated partial readouts of a single coherent spin-wave state is demonstrated, offering possible applications in adaptive measurements via conditional spin-wave modulation.
