Precision requirements for spin-echo based quantum memories
Khabat Heshami, Nicolas Sangouard, Jiri Minar +2
Spin echo techniques are essential for achieving long coherence times in solid-state quantum memories for light because of inhomogeneous broadening of the spin transitions. It has…
Efficient excitation of a two level atom by a single photon in a propagating mode
Yimin Wang, Jiří Minář, Lana Sheridan +1
State mapping between atoms and photons, and photon-photon interactions play an important role in scalable quantum information processing. We consider the interaction of a two-leve…
Spin Wave Storage using Chirped Control Fields in Atomic Frequency Comb based Quantum Memory
Jiří Minář, Nicolas Sangouard, Mikael Afzelius +2
It has been shown that an inhomogeneously broadened optical transition shaped into an atomic frequency comb can store a large number of temporal modes of the electromagnetic field…
On the impossibility of faithfully storing single-photons with the three-pulse photon echo
Nicolas Sangouard, Christoph Simon, Jiri Minar +6
The three-pulse photon echo is a well-known technique to store intense light pulses in an inhomogeneously broadened atomic ensemble. This protocol is attractive because it is relat…
