High-efficiency, high-speed, and low-noise photonic quantum memory
Abstract
We present a demonstration of simultaneous high-efficiency, high-speed, and low-noise operation of a photonic quantum memory. By leveraging controllable collisional dephasing in a neutral barium atomic vapor, we demonstrate a significant improvement in memory efficiency and bandwidth over existing techniques. We achieve greater than 95% storage efficiency and 26% total efficiency of 880 GHz bandwidth photons, with O(10-5) noise photons per retrieved pulse. These ultrabroad bandwidths enable rapid quantum information processing and contribute to the development of practical quantum memories with potential applications in quantum communication, computation, and networking.
