Controlled transport of stored light
arXiv:2003.08713 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.125.150501
Abstract
Controlled manipulation, storage and retrieval of quantum information is essential for quantum communication and computing. Quantum memories for light, realized with cold atomic samples as the storage medium, are prominent for their high storage efficiencies and lifetime. We demonstrate the controlled transport of stored light over 1:2 mm in such a storage system and show that the transport process and its dynamics only have a minor effect on the coherence of the storage. Extending the presented concept to longer transport distances and augmenting the number of storage sections will allow for the development of novel quantum devices such as optical race track memories or optical quantum registers.
