Special Atomic Physics Seminar
Quantum memory for sqeezed light
Date: Thursday, April 24th
Time: 3:00 pm
Place: 5310 Chamberlin
Speaker: Dmitry Korystov, Institute for Quantum Information Science, University of Calgary
Abstract: The talk will be focused on our recent progress in realization of quantum memory using electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). For the first time storage and retrieval of a squeezed vacuum state in atomic rubidium atoms was demonstrated. The retrieved light retains quadrature squeezing, albeit degraded by absorption and atomic decoherence. Time-domain homodyne tomography allowed to perform full characterization of input and retrieved states, obtain density matrices of both ensembles and evaluate the memory fidelity.
