Telecom networking with a diamond quantum memory

Abstract

Practical quantum networks require interfacing quantum memories with existing channels and systems that operate in the telecom band. Here we demonstrate low-noise, bidirectional quantum frequency conversion that enables a solid-state quantum memory to directly interface with telecom-band systems. In particular, we demonstrate conversion of visible-band single photons emitted from a silicon-vacancy (SiV) center in diamond to the telecom O-band, maintaining low noise ($g^2(0)<0.1$) and high indistinguishability ($V=89\pm 8\%$). We further demonstrate the utility of this system for quantum networking by converting telecom-band time-bin pulses, sent across a lossy and noisy 50 km deployed fiber link, to the visible band and mapping their quantum states onto a diamond quantum memory with fidelity $\mathcal{F}=87\pm 2.5\%$. These results demonstrate the viability of SiV quantum memories integrated with telecom-band systems for scalable quantum networking applications.
