摘要:

长距离量子通信网络需要在基于物质量子比特的节点和低损耗光子量子信道之间建立适当的接口。我们实现了一个下转换量子接口,其中从半导体量子点发射的单光子在910 nm下转换到1560 nm,使用光纤耦合的周期性极化的锂酸盐波导和2.2- $μ$ m脉冲泵浦激光器。量子点发射的单光子特性在下转换过程中被保留:我们使用量子点的共振激发来测量互相关$g^{(2)}(τ= 0) = 0.17$。通过观察下转换光子计数中的拉比振荡,我们证明了下转换界面与量子点电子自旋的相干光学控制完全兼容。这些结果代表了向长距离混合量子网络迈出的关键一步,在该网络中,在不同波长下工作的子系统通过量子频率转换器件和1.5- $μ$ m量子信道连接。

英文摘要:

Long-distance quantum communication networks require appropriate interfaces between matter qubit-based nodes and low-loss photonic quantum channels. We implement a downconversion quantum interface, where the single photons emitted from a semiconductor quantum dot at 910 nm are downconverted to 1560 nm using a fiber-coupled periodically poled lithium niobate waveguide and a 2.2-$μ$m pulsed pump laser. The single-photon character of the quantum dot emission is preserved during the downconversion process: we measure a cross-correlation $g^{(2)}(τ= 0) = 0.17$ using resonant excitation of the quantum dot. We show that the downconversion interface is fully compatible with coherent optical control of the quantum dot electron spin through the observation of Rabi oscillations in the downconverted photon counts. These results represent a critical step towards a long-distance hybrid quantum network in which subsystems operating at different wavelengths are connected through quantum frequency conversion devices and 1.5-$μ$m quantum channels.
