Interfacing microwave qubits and optical photons via spin ensembles
Susanne Blum, Christopher O'Brien, Nikolai Lauk +3
A protocol is discussed which allows one to realize a transducer for single photons between the optical and the microwave frequency range. The transducer is a spin ensemble, where…
Interfacing Superconducting Qubits and Telecom Photons via a Rare-Earth Doped Crystal
Christopher O'Brien, Nikolai Lauk, Susanne Blum +2
We propose a scheme to couple short single photon pulses to superconducting qubits. An optical photon is first absorbed into an inhomogeneously broadened rare-earth doped crystal u…
Single-photon frequency conversion in nonlinear crystals
Susanne Blum, Georgina A. Olivares-Rentería, Carlo Ottaviani +2
Frequency conversion of single photons in a nonlinear crystal is theoretically discussed. Losses and noise are included within a Heisenberg-Langevin formalism for the propagating p…
