Realization of practical quantum memory and optical signal processing systems critically
depends on suitable materials that offer specific combinations of properties. Solid-state …

Many applications of quantum communication crucially depend on reversible transfer of
quantum states between light and matter. Motivated by rapid recent developments in theory …

We experimentally demonstrate the storage of 1060 temporal modes onto a thulium-doped
crystal using an atomic frequency comb (AFC). The comb covers 0.93 GHz defining the …

We present the complete Zeeman g tensors for the lowest-energy I 15∕ 2 4 and I 13∕ 2 4
states of Er 3+ doped into Y 2 Si O 5 for both crystallographic sites deduced from orientation …

(QIP) uses superposition states of photons or atoms to process, store, and transmit data in …

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy of rare earth ions in crystals is a
powerful tool to analyze the hyperfine structure of the rare earth ground state. This can be …

We demonstrate efficient and reversible mapping of a light field on to a thulium-doped
crystal using an atomic frequency comb (AFC). Owing to an accurate spectral preparation of …

We consider the problem of population transfer optimal control for a quantum Lambda
system where the control couples pairwise only the lowest two energy levels to the highest …

A method is introduced for quantitatively analyzing photon echo decay measurements to
characterize excitation-induced decoherence resulting from the phenomenon of …

We report the energy level structure of the 3 H 6 and 3 H 4 multiplets for Tm 3+ doped
congruent LiNbO 3, as well as the decoherence properties and their temperature …
