Diffraction limited optics for single atom manipulation
Y. R. P. Sortais, H. Marion, C. Tuchendler +8
We present an optical system designed to capture and observe a single neutral atom in an optical dipole trap, created by focussing a laser beam using a large numerical aperture N.A…
Fast Quantum State Control of a Single Trapped Neutral Atom
Matthew P. A. Jones, Jerome Beugnon, Alpha Gaëtan +4
We demonstrate the initialisation, read-out and high-speed manipulation of a qubit stored in a single 87 Rb atom trapped in a submicron-size optical tweezer. Single qubit rotations…
A frequency-doubled, pulsed laser system for rubidium manipulation
J. Dingjan, B. Darquie, J. Beugnon +5
We have constructed a pulsed laser system for the manipulation of cold Rb atoms. The system combines optical telecommunications components and frequency doubling to generate light…
Experimental open air quantum key distribution with a single photon source
Romain Alleaume, Francois Treussart, Gaetan Messin +6
We present a full implementation of a quantum key distribution (QKD) system with a single photon source, operating at night in open air. The single photon source at the heart of th…
Generation of ultrabright tunable polarization entanglement without spatial, spectral, or temporal constraints
Marco Fiorentino, Gaetan Messin, Christopher E. Kuklewicz +2
The need for spatial and spectral filtering in the generation of polarization entanglement is eliminated by combining two coherently-driven type-II spontaneous parametric downconve…
