For future quantum network applications, hybrid quantum systems provide promising capabilities. One example for such a system is the interface between single photons from a quantum dot (QD) and an alkali vapor as storage medium. In any application, it is essential to know the properties of the investigated photons.
Therefore, a detailed investigation of the photon-atom interaction is necessary. Beyond experimental results, numerical simulations embody a powerful tool for this task. The presented framework adapts the description of particle diffusion to take the effects of spectral diffusion in a QD into account. Moreover, the influence of the vapor is considered via the complex refractive index. Altogether, all realized experimental observations (time-correlated single-photon measurements and two-photon interference measurements) can be understood on one basis. Additionally, the simulations can be possibly extended for the description of photon propagation in other media.
