Few-photon storage on a second timescale by electromagnetically induced transparency in a doped solid

Abstract: We present the experimental demonstration of light storage towards the single photon level at a long storage time by electromagnetically induced transparency in a rare-earth ion-doped Pr3+:Y2SiO5 crystal. We apply decoherence control by static magnetic fields and appropriately designed radio-frequency composite pulse sequences to prolong the storage time in the memory. A rare-earth ion-doped filter crystal prepared by optical pumping serves to efficiently separate the signal at the single photon level from opt… Show more

“…We have also proposed an experiment for realising the standing wave control laser field EIT system and subsequent probe pulse storage in a rare earth metal doped YSO crystal, cryogenically cooled to 4.5 K. Although stationary pulses have been stored and studied in a warm and cold atomic gaseous [9] [14], the case of travelling probe pulse under the effect of counterpropagating control laser field, which we have proposed to study experimentally, has not been done in a solid-state medium. Most recently, a travelling photon pulse, under the application of travelling control laser field, has been stored for up to 100 seconds in the levels 3 H4 ↔ 1 D2 of Pr 3+ : Y2SiO5 by M. Hain et al (2022). [18] We have proposed the experiment to be performed on the same medium and have predicted by our analysis, that a greater coherence time for the storage of the pulse should be observed in this process.…”

The storage time is, however, limited because of the unavoidable spontaneous emissions.…”

“…Photonic quantum memories are required in many applications in quantum information science with varying performance requirements depending on specific applications. Although classical light storage has been demonstrated in time scales of minutes (Dudin and Kuzmich, 2013;Heinze et al, 2013) to hours (Ma et al, 2021) in different systems, storing true single photons and single photon level coherent pulses are still limited to around a few seconds at most (Wang et al 2021;Ortu et al, 2022;Hain et al, 2022;Stas et al 2022). In this question we would like to explore what the challenges for quantum memory storage for the purposes of quantum communication and the distribution of entanglement are, e.g.…”
