A Single-Atom Quantum Memory
Holger P. Specht, Christian Nölleke, Andreas Reiserer +4
The faithful storage of a quantum bit of light is essential for long-distance quantum communication, quantum networking and distributed quantum computing. The required optical quan…
Shaping the Phase of a Single Photon
H. P. Specht, J. Bochmann, M. Muecke +4
While the phase of a coherent light field can be precisely known, the phase of the individual photons that create this field, considered individually, cannot. Phase changes within…
Photon-Photon Entanglement with a Single Trapped Atom
B. Weber, H. P. Specht, T. Mueller +4
An experiment is performed where a single rubidium atom trapped within a high-finesse optical cavity emits two independently triggered entangled photons. The entanglement is mediat…
Fast Excitation and Photon Emission of a Single-Atom-Cavity System
J. Bochmann, M. Muecke, G. Langfahl-Klabes +5
We report on the fast excitation of a single atom coupled to an optical cavity using laser pulses that are much shorter than all other relevant processes. The cavity frequency cons…
A Single-Photon Server with Just One Atom
Markus Hijlkema, Bernhard Weber, Holger P. Specht +3
Neutral atoms are ideal objects for the deterministic processing of quantum information. Entanglement operations have been performed by photon exchange or controlled collisions. At…
Polarization-controlled single photons
T. Wilk, S. C. Webster, H. P. Specht +2
Vacuum-stimulated Raman transitions are driven between two magnetic substates of a rubidium-87 atom strongly coupled to an optical cavity. A magnetic field lifts the degeneracy of…
