Seminars

On an irregular basis various Special Seminars take place at the MPQ. The seminars are organized by scientists of our divisions, administration or staff representatives. The location will be announced with the event.

A source of light-matter entanglement for quantum state distribution over hybrid matter platforms (Dr. Pau Farrera)

A source of light-matter entanglement for quantum state distribution over hybrid matter platforms

Date: Nov 21, 2018
Time: 01:30 PM (Local Time Germany)
Speaker: Dr. Pau Farrera
Location: Max-Planck-Institut für Quantenoptik
Room: Hörsaal, Raum B 0.32 / New lecture hall, Room B 0.32
Host: MPQ, Quantum Dynamics Division

In this talk I will speak about our source of light-matter quantum states based on laser-cooled atoms. In particular, I will explain the capabilities developed in order to transfer photonic qubits from this system to another matter platform that consists on a crystal doped with rare-earth ions. Photonic qubits generated by the atomic cloud were frequency converted and temporally shaped in order to have an optimum interaction with the ions in the crystal. These capabilities enabled to perform quantum state transfer between these two very different matter systems: the laser-cooled gas and the crystal. [more]
