Abstract

Summary form only given. Quantum networks consist of many quantum memory nodes that are interconnected via photonic links, transporting single photons carrying quantum information. In the future, such quantum networks may enable: high-speed quantum cryptography for unconditionally secure communication; large-scale quantum computers; and quantum simulators that will allow for exponential speed-up in solving specific complex problems. A promising route towards functional quantum network nodes is the heterogeneous approach [1], where different and separately optimized physical systems are used for single photon generation and storage. For example semiconductor quantum dots may be used as efficient, fast and deterministic single photon sources, while atomic ensembles allow for efficient storage of these photons.We demonstrate a photonic memory in warm Rb vapour with on-demand storage and retrieval, based on electromagnetic induced transparency (EIT). The memory is suitable for storing single photons emitted by a GaAs droplet quantum dots [2] embedded into a state-of-the-art photonic structures [3]. With our experiments we close the gap between low speed quantum memories with acceptance bandwidth well below 100 MHz and ultra-high speed memories with acceptance bandwidth above 1 GHz. We find that in this intermediate regime vapour cell memories offer an excellent compromise between storage efficiency, storage time and experimental complexity.
