Characterization of a quantum frequency converter for quantum repeater applications
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2012-09-03)
Master thesis
Open Access[ANGLÈS] Quantum frequency conversion of quantum memory compatible photons to telecom wavelength is a requirement for the implementation of scalable quantum repeaters, a key ingredient for long distance quantum communications ... -
Laser frequency stabilization to excited Rydberg transitions using electromagnetically induced transparency
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2012-09-10)
Master thesis
Open Access[ANGLÈS] Rydberg atoms with principal quantum number n>>1 have extraordinary atomic properties including tunable long range dipole-dipole interactions that lead to the so called Rydberg blockade. Atoms excited to these ... -
Narrowband photon pair source compatible with solid state quantum memories
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2016-09-08)
Master thesis
Open AccessThe generation of narrowband photon pairs compatible with solid state quantum memories is shown and analysed. This study is made in two different steps. In the beginning we implement a photon pair source with a periodically ... -
Quantum frequency conversion of single photons emitted by atomic quantum memories to telecom wavelengths
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2013-09-09)
Master thesis
Open AccessIn quantum repeater schemes for long distance quantum communication, quantum memories (QMs) play a vital role. For these applications, QMs need to be connected to the fiber optics network. However most QMs operate at ... -
Towards cavity enhanced detection of single ions in the solid-state
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-09-06)
Master thesis
Open AccessThe goal of this master thesis was to take initial steps towards cavity-enhanced detection of single rare-earth ions in the solid state. A fibre microcavity set-up for use with Praseodymium-doped nanocrystals was designed, ...
