Optical cavities can be used as efficient quantum interfaces between photons and atoms to realize a quantum network. In such a network, photonic channels link quantum nodes composed of trapped atoms. However, the technical requirements for the building blocks of such a network are demanding because coherent effects should dominate the system's dynamics.
Here we present the development of an integrated ion-trap fiber-cavity setup, in which cavity parameters are designed for strong coupling to a single ion. Thus, coherent interaction provides high fidelities and efficiencies for network protocols. Simulations of protocols such as ion-photon state mapping and ion-photon entanglement demonstrate the advantage of a fiber-cavity system over existing ion-trap systems.
