(DURIP) EXPERIMENTAL TESTBED FOR A QUANTUM ROUTER USING OPTICAL QUANTUM MEMORY
Abstract
In this DURIP we propose to develop a testbed for a remote quantum router that will take both quantum signals and classical routing information and quickly reconfigure to direct the signal to the desired receiver. The router will be composed of a lithium niobate chip containing rare-earth ions that act as an optical quantum memory. The router will enable nanosecond reconfigurability and provide microsecond storage times, ensuring that we can efficient store and route quantum signals. We will connect the router to the UMD campus fiber networks where it will be able to receive photons from multiple trapped ion systems at UMD and route signals to desired client locations at different labs on campus. Success of this project will represent a major step towards scalable quantum networks that can implement complex transmission protocols analogous to the modern internet.
