Storage and analysis of light-matter entanglement in a fibre-integrated system
arXiv:2201.03361 · doi:10.1126/sciadv.abn3919
Abstract
The deployment of a fully-fledged quantum internet poses the challenge of finding adequate building-blocks for entanglement distribution between remote quantum nodes. An ideal system would combine propagation in optical fibres with quantum memories for light, leveraging on the existing communication network while featuring the scalability required to extend to network sizes. Here we demonstrate a fiber-integrated quantum memory entangled with a photon at telecommunication wavelength. The storage device is based on a fiber-pigtailed laser written waveguide in a rare-earth doped solid and allows an all-fiber stable adressing of the memory. The analysis of the entanglement is performed using fibre-based interferometers. Our results feature orders of magnitude advances in terms of storage time and efficiency for integrated storage of light-matter entanglement, and constitute a significant step forward towards quantum networks using integrated devices.
