Packaged quantum-memories for photonic quantum technologies
Abstract
Quantum computing could revolutionize information technologies, and quantum communications links could enable unhackable networks. There is a global race to develop optical systems, powered by light, to realise these novel technologies. But the storage and buffering of individual particles of light — photons — is a key capability that has not been possible outside of research labs. ORCA Computing have developed quantum memories that can store and release single photons, for the first time enabling optical quantum computing and communications on a large scale. In this project, will develop a compact and manufacturable packaged quantum memory, based on off-resonant cascaded absorption (ORCA) in rubidium vapour. We will undertake research into longer lifetime memories using coherent ground state storage and will construct a test-bench to optimise all design parameters for enhanced efficiency, reduced footprint and improved mechanical robustness.
