Storage of coherences and single-photon sources via Rydberg state in thermal vapors — •Yi-Hsin Chen, Fabian Ripka, Robert Löw, and Tilman Pfau — 5. Physikalisches Institut, Universität Stuttgart

Photons are good information carriers, which can be stored and retrieved among different quantum devices. We perform the storage of coherences via a highly excited Rydberg state in thermal vapors. These photonic quantum devices are intrinsically reproducible and scalable, towards the potential application of the photonic-based quantum security communication and information processing. The scheme is based on the combination of four-wave-mixing (FWM) and Rydberg blockade effects in a 220 micrometer thick vapor cell. In the pulsed FWM scheme, we observe coherent dynamics [1] and measure the lifetime of the stored coherence, which is around 1 ns, limited by motional dephasing of the thermal vapors. Moreover, we are going to reduce the excitation volume towards below the Rydberg interaction range by use of high-NA optics and spatial confinement for generating a deterministic single-photon source [2].
