Entanglement distribution and quantum storage of more than 8000 modes over a metropolitan network
Angelo Gelmini Rodriguez, Louis Nicolas, Théo Sanchez Mejia +6
Entanglement generation between telecommunication photons and matter is central to fibre-based quantum repeaters. Achieving practical communication rates requires multiplexing, whi…
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…
Optical pumping simulations and optical Rabi frequency measurements in under magnetic field
Jingjing Chen, Mikael Afzelius
Europium-doped crystal is an interesting platform for optical quantum memories, due to its long optical and spin coherence times. In this work, we inve…
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…
