Broadband multiresonator quantum memory-interface

Integrated Multiresonator Quantum Memory

We develop an integrated efficient multiresonator quantum memory scheme based on a system of three interacting resonators coupled through a common resonator to an external waveguide via switchable coupler. It is shown that high-precision parameter matching based on step-by-step optimization makes it possible to efficiently store the signal field and enables on-demand retrieval of the signal at specified time moments. Possible experimental implementations and practical applications of the proposed quantum memory scheme are discussed.

On-Demand Storage and Retrieval of Microwave Photons Using a Superconducting Multiresonator Quantum Memory

We realize on-demand storage and retrieval of weak coherent microwave photon pulses at the single-photon level. A superconducting multiresonator system which is composed of a set of frequency-tunable coplanar waveguide resonators is implemented as the quantum memory. By dynamically tuning the resonant frequencies of the resonators, we achieve tunable memory bandwidth from 10 to 55 MHz, with well preserved phase coherence. We further demonstrate on-demand storage and retrieval of a time-bin flying qubit. This result opens up a prospect to integrate our chip-based quantum memory with the state-of-the-art superconducting quantum circuit technology for quantum information processing.

Spectral-Topological Superefficient Quantum Memory

In this work, we propose a universal (spectral-topological) approach towards the realization of the quantum memory, consisting of a small number of controlled absorbers, providing a super-high quantum efficiency of more than 99.9% required for practical quantum information science. In this way, we have found a series of spectral-topological matching conditions for the spectroscopic parameters of the absorbers which ensure the maximal efficiency in the broadband spectral range due to controlling the relative position (topology) of the eigenfrequencies in the absorbers spectrum. We also discuss the implementation of the proposed approach using the modern microwave and optical technologies.
