Optical investigation of ultra-slow spin relaxation in Yb:YSiO single crystals
Federico Chiossi, Alexey Tiranov, Luois Nicolas +9
We present a comprehensive study of spin relaxation dynamics at cryogenic temperatures in a rare-earth-doped crystal used for quantum memory applications: Yb:YSiO.…
Broadband and long-duration optical memory in Yb:YSO
T. Sanchez Mejia, L. Nicolas, A. Gelmini Rodriguez +2
Optical quantum memories are essential components for realizing the full potential of quantum networks. Among these, rare-earth-doped crystal memories stand out due to their large…
Quantum networks using rare-earth ions
Wolfgang Tittel, Mikael Afzelius, Adam Kinos +2
We review concepts and recent work related to creating light-matter interfaces for future quantum networks based on rare-earth ion-doped crystals. More precisely, we explore their…
Optical spin-wave storage in a solid-state hybridized electron-nuclear spin ensemble
Moritz Businger, Alexey Tiranov, Krzysztof T. Kaczmarek +4
Solid-state impurity spins with optical control are currently investigated for quantum networks and repeaters. Among these, rare-earth-ion doped crystals are promising as quantum m…
