Rare-earth ions in crystals are a proven solid-state platform for quantum technologies in the ensemble regime and attractive for new opportunities at the single-ion level. Among the …
We present a quantum repeater scheme that is based on individual erbium and europium ions. Erbium ions are attractive because they emit photons at telecommunication …
We design a quantum repeater architecture using individual 167 Er ions doped into Y 2 SiO 5 crystal. This ion is a promising candidate for a repeater protocol because of its long …
Rare-earth ion doped crystals have proven to be solid platforms for implementing quantum memories. Their potential use for integrated photonics with large multiplexing capability and …
We characterize the europium (Eu 3+) hyperfine interaction of the excited state (D 0 5) and determine its effective spin Hamiltonian parameters for the Zeeman and quadrupole tensors …
The medical imaging technique called “ultrasound optical tomography”(UOT) entails light scattered in tissue that is given spatial information by interacting with an ultrasound field …
The Duan-Lukin-Cirac-Zoller (DLCZ) scheme is a potential method to establish remote entanglements and realize large-scale quantum networks. Here we propose a DLCZ-like …
Photon echoes in rare-earth-doped crystals are studied to understand the challenges of making broadband quantum memories using the atomic frequency comb (AFC) protocol in …
