White Rabbit-assisted quantum network node synchronization with quantum channel coexistence

May 7, 2022
Author(s)
Thomas Gerrits, Ivan Burenkov, Ya-Shian Li-Baboud, Anouar Rahmouni, DJ Anand, FNU Hala, Oliver T. Slattery, Abdella Battou, Sergey Polyakov
We show that the Ethernet-based time transfer protocol 'White Rabbit' can synchronize two distant quantum-networked nodes to within 4 ps, enabling HOM interference at >90 % visibility using 17.6 ps FWHM single-photons coexisting with White Rabbit.

Calibration of free-space and fiber-coupled single-photon detectors

September 14, 2020
Author(s)
Thomas Gerrits, Alan L. Migdall, Joshua C. Bienfang, John H. Lehman, Sae Woo Nam, Oliver T. Slattery, Jolene D. Splett, Igor Vayshenker, Chih-Ming Wang
We present our measurements of the detection efficiency of free-space and fiber-coupled single- photon detectors at wavelengths near 851 nm and 1533.6 nm. We investigate the spatial uniformity of one free-space-coupled silicon single-photon avalanche diode

Terahertz Electromagnetically Induced Transparency in Cesium Atoms

September 14, 2020
Author(s)
Sumit Bhushan, Oliver T. Slattery, Xiao Tang, Lijun Ma
We outline a proposal to realize Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT) with the potential to store Terahertz (THz) optical pulses in Cesium atoms. Such a system, when experimentally realized, has a potential to make Quantum Communication possible

Optical quantum memory and its applications in quantum communication systems

January 16, 2020
Author(s)
Lijun Ma, Xiao Tang, Oliver T. Slattery
Optical quantum memory is a device that can store the quantum state of photons and retrieve it with high fidelity on demand. The device can be used to enhance performance for many quantum communication systems such as measurement device independent (MDI)

Optical Quantum Memory Applications in Quantum Communication

September 6, 2019
Author(s)
Oliver T. Slattery, Xiao Tang, Lijun Ma
Optical quantum memory is a device that can store the quantum state of photons and retrieve it with high fidelity on demand. Many approaches to quantum memory have been proposed and demonstrated. Quantum memory can be used to enhance performance in many

Background and Review of Cavity-Enhanced Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion

August 22, 2019
Author(s)
Oliver T. Slattery, Lijun Ma, Kevin Zong, Xiao Tang
Spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) in a nonlinear crystal has been a workhorse for the generation of entangled and correlated single-photon pairs used for quantum communications applications for nearly three decades. However, as a naturally

A Testbed for Quantum Communication and Quantum Networks

May 13, 2019
Author(s)
Lijun Ma, Abdella Battou, Xiao Tang, Oliver T. Slattery
The development of Quantum Networks is underway with significant acceleration in in recent years. Meanwhile. quantum scale devices and components such as single photon sources, detectors, memories and interfaces are ever readier to leave the laboratory

Noise Reduction in Optically Controlled Quantum Memory

May 7, 2018
Author(s)
Lijun Ma, Oliver T. Slattery, Xiao Tang
Quantum memory is an essential device for quantum communications systems and quantum computers. An important category of quantum memory, called Optically controlled quantum memory, uses a strong classical beam to control the storage and re-emission of a

Optical quantum memory based on electromagnetically induced transparency

February 20, 2017
Author(s)
Lijun Ma, Oliver T. Slattery, Xiao Tang
Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is a promising approach to implement quantum memory in quantum communication and quantum computing applications. In this paper, following a brief overview of the main approaches to quantum memory, we provide
