Decoherence induced by dipole-dipole couplings between atomic species in rare-earth ion-doped YSiO

Charlotte Pignol, Antonio Ortu, Louis Nicolas +5

Rare-earth ion doped crystals are state-of-the-art platforms for processing quantum information, particularly thanks to their excellent optical and spin coherence properties at cry…

A readout-integrated time-bin qutrit analyzer for echo-based quantum memories

Adrian Holzäpfel, Antonio Ortu, Mikael Afzelius

We present a method to project time-bin qutrits stored in an echo-based quantum memory using several successive partial readouts of the memory. We demonstrate how this scheme can b…
