Atom-to-photon quantum-state transfer for quantum networks — •Pascal Eich, Matthias Bock, Stephan Kucera, Andreas Lenhard, Christoph Becher, and Jürgen Eschner — Universität des Saarlandes, Experimentalphysik, Campus E2.6, 66123 Saarbrücken
Quantum interfaces between atomic nodes and photonic quantum channels are crucial building blocks for single-atom-based quantum networks. In previous work, we demonstrated the quantum-state transfer from a single photon at 854 nm onto the electronic state of a single trapped 40Ca+ ion [1]. Here we demonstrate the inverse mapping, of an atomic quantum state onto the polarization state of a single 854-nm photon. This experiment completes our fully bi-directional atom-photon quantum interface that provides compatibility with low-loss telecom-fiber communication through polarization-preserving quantum frequency conversion (QFC) [2].
