Abstract Scalable technologies to characterize the performance of quantum devices are crucial creating large networks and processing units. Chief among resources information is entanglement. Here we describe full temporal spatial characterization polarization-entangled photons produced by Spontaneous Parametric Down Conversions using an intensified high-speed optical camera, Tpx3Cam. This novel technique allows for precise determination Bell inequality parameters with minimal technical...
We report complete characterization of an optical memory based on electromagnetically induced transparency. recover the superoperator associated with memory, under two different working conditions, by means a quantum process tomography technique that involves storage coherent states and their upon retrieval. In this way, we can predict state retrieved from for any input, example, squeezed vacuum or Fock state. employ acquired to verify nonclassicality benchmark Gaussian distributed set states.
Implementing noise-free quantum devices at room temperature is the key to bring technology from laboratory public. So far this has been impossible, due inherent noise in thermal systems. The authors superpose spin waves by mapping photonic polarization qubits onto collective excitations of rubidium atoms. By manipulating resultant coherence, they obtain a room-temperature high-fidelity memory. Such could have great impact as repeaters, cornerstones elementary networks.
We experimentally demonstrate a communication protocol that enables frequency conversion and routing of quantum information in an adiabatic thus robust way. The is based on electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) systems with multiple excited levels: transfer and/or distribution optical states between different signal modes implemented by adiabatically changing the control fields. proof-of-principle experiment performed using hyperfine levels rubidium D1 line.
An optical quantum memory is a stationary device that capable of storing and recreating photonic qubits with higher fidelity than any classical device. Thus far, these two requirements have been fulfilled for polarization in systems based on cold atoms cryogenically cooled crystals. Here, we report room-temperature arbitrary signal-to-background ratio 1 an average surpassing the benchmark weak laser pulses containing 1.6 photons average, without taking into account non-unitary operation. Our...
The development of useful photon-photon interactions can trigger numerous breakthroughs in quantum information science, however, this has remained a considerable challenge spanning several decades. Here, we demonstrate the first room-temperature implementation large phase shifts ($\ensuremath{\approx}\ensuremath{\pi}$) on single-photon level probe pulse ($1.5\text{ }\text{ }\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{s}$) triggered by simultaneously propagating few-photon-level signal field. This process is...

It has been recently suggested that optical interferometers may not require a phase-stable link between the stations if instead sources of quantum-mechanically entangled pairs could be provided to them, enabling extra- long baselines and benefiting numerous topics in astrophysics cosmology. We developed new variation this idea, proposing two photons from different interfered at decoupled stations, requiring only slow classical information them. show approach allow high- precision...
A key element to realize secure, long-distance quantum communication is a device capable of storing and synchronizing data without jeopardizing the security network. The size resources needed build memory has held this technology back---until now. authors send randomly polarized photons through free-space channel, receive them with portable memory, store them, finally read out. They show that encoded in remain fully protected throughout. This prototype network using cost-efficient,...

Our focus is on the rate generation with many repeaters finite memory lifetime. findings demonstrate that performance connection depends highly management protocol scheduling and swapping, resulting in final end-to-end entanglement. Numerical analytical simulations show limits given number involved, lifetimes distance end nodes, protocol.
