量子图像存储

量子通讯的实现离不开量子存储器。量子存储器是一个能够按照需要存储和读出量子态的系统,而被存储的是非经典的量子态,如单光子、纠缠、压缩态等。多模存储能力是衡量量子存储器工作性能的一个重要指标。空间域的多模存储可以极大地减小对存储器存储时间的要求,因此空间多模存储引起了国内外学者的广泛关注,并在近几年取得了许多重要进展。文章简述了量子存储器的主要性质与评价指标,回顾了近年来量子存储的研究进程,特别介绍了量子图像存储方面的最新实验进展。

Non-Classical Correlated Photon Pairs Generation via Cascade Transition of 5S1/2-5P3/2-5D5/2 in a Hot SSRb Atomic Vapor

We experimentally prepare the non-classical correlated photon pairs at the wavelengths of 780 and 776 mn via the cascade transition of 5S1/2 5P3/2-5D5/2 in a hot SSRb atomic ensemble. By measuring the function of cross-correlation and auto-correlation of photons, a violation of Cauehy Schwarz inequality by a factor of 283 is obtained, which clearly indicates a strong non-classicM correlation between the generated photons. We also find that noise photons scattered from pump lasers have a strong effect on the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality factor by changing the intensity of the pump laser, the experimental results are consistent with the theoretical predictions.     

Two narrow bandwidth photons interfering in an electromagnetically induced transparency （EIT） system

In this paper, we have analysed in detail the quantum interference of the degenerate narrowband two-photon state by using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, in which an electromagnetically induced transparency （EIT） medium is placed in one of two interfering beams. Our results clearly show that it is possible to coherently keep the quantum state at a single photon level in the EIT process, especially when the transparent window of the EIT medium is much larger than the bandwidth of the single photon. This shows that the EIT medium is possibly a kind of memory or repeater for the narrowband photons in the areas of quantum communication and quantum computer. This kind of experiment is feasible within the current technology.

Probabilistic and robust preparation of a GHZ-type state via atomic ensembles and linear optics

This paper proposes two simple and robust schemes to generate an atomic-ensemble Greenberger--Horne--Zeilinger-type (GHZ-type) entangled state via linear optics and single photon detection. These schemes are based on two-photon Hong--Ou--Mandel-type interference, therefore they are insensitive to the phase fluctuation. This advantage will make the realizations of these two schemes easier. One scheme can scale efficiently with the number of ensembles because of the used quantum memory. Both schemes are also robust to the noise and within the reach of current technology.     

高维量子态存储

量子通信网络主要由用于存储和操纵量子态的存储单元和联络存储单元之间的信息载体构成。光子是信息载体的最佳选择,存储单元可以由固态材料或气态原子组成。相对于二维空间,编码于一个高维空间的光子可以携带更大的信息量。若能够实现编码于高维空间的量子态存储,则在增大存储单元存储容量的同时,还可以提高网络的信道容量和传输效率,因而高维量子态的存储研究成为当前量子信息领域的热点领域。本文简要回顾了国内外在高维量子态存储方面进展,着重介绍了近期基于冷原子系综实现单光子条件下高维量子态存储的突破性进展,提出了构建高维量子网络需要解决的关键问题。
