Erbium dopants in solids exhibit a coherent optical transition at a telecommunication frequency and spin coherence times exceeding a second. This offers an exceptional potential for extended quantum networks [1].
To realise an efficient spin-photon interface, a 10 μm thin crystalline membrane is embedded into a Fabry-Perot resonator. The narrow optical transitions of the emitters then allow for spectral multiplexing [2]. In this context, we show that the spectral density and thus the number of individually resolvable qubits can be tailored by co-doping an erbium-doped YSO crystal with europium [3]. Using this technique, more than 360 emitters with an optical coherence that reaches the lifetime limit can be optically resolved with Purcell factors up to 110.
These advances constitute a key step towards large-scale multiplexed entanglement generation for a global quantum network.
