[0002] The quantum no-cloning theorem provides a fundamental guarantee for the security of quantum communication. However, this principle also limits the quantum signal from being directly amplified like a classical signal. During optical fiber transmission, photons will experience exponential attenuation loss as the distance increases, which greatly hinders the possibility of directly achieving long-distance quantum communication of more than one hundred kilometers through an optical fiber channel. To overcome this problem, three solutions based on quantum memories are proposed: optical fiber quantum repeaters, mobile quantum memories, and spaceborne free-space quantum communication. The implementation of these solutions all relies on the support of high-performance quantum memories.

[0028] Most rare-earth-ion-doped crystals usually exhibit low optical transition intensities, which means that their ability to absorb photons is relatively weak, resulting in low storage efficiency. For most practical applications of quantum networks, high-efficiency quantum storage is crucial. To solve this problem, researchers have proposed using an impedance-matched Fabry–Perot cavity to enhance the interaction between light and matter.

[0039] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the fiber microcavity includes a fiber concave mirror and a plane mirror; the fiber concave mirror and the plane mirror form an open Fabry - Perot cavity, which is used to realize the function of adjustable cavity length and realize high-efficiency quantum storage of signal light based on the principle of cavity-enhanced light-matter interaction.
[0040] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the fiber microcavity is an open Fabry - Perot cavity composed of a microscopic fiber concave mirror and a macroscopic plane mirror, which is used to enhance the interaction between the signal light and the rare-earth ion-doped crystal thin film.
[0041] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the rare-earth ion-doped crystal thin film includes an inner surface and an outer surface; the inner surface is the side facing the fiber concave mirror; the outer surface is the side opposite to the inner surface; the plane mirror is obtained by coating an optical high-reflection film on the outer surface of the rare-earth ion-doped crystal thin film, which is used to further improve the quantum storage efficiency of the signal light based on the principle of reducing the loss in the cavity. Specifically, the plane mirror of the fiber microcavity can be formed by coating a distributed Bragg reflector-type high-reflection film on the side of the rare-earth ion-doped crystal thin film away from the fiber concave mirror. The fiber concave mirror is obtained by using a carbon dioxide laser etching technique to make a fiber concave on the fiber end face, and then using an ion beam sputtering coating technique to coat an optical high-reflection film on the fiber concave.

[0043] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a multimode optical fiber with a diameter of 125 μm can be used for the optical fiber, and the concave surface of the optical fiber can be prepared by carbon dioxide laser ablation. The radius of curvature of the prepared concave surface of the optical fiber is 800 μm, and the effective cavity mirror diameter is 45 μm. Both the plane mirror and the concave mirror of the optical fiber are coated with an anti-reflection film of the distributed Bragg reflector type, and the reflectivity to 606 nm is 99% for both, and the reflectivity to 580 nm is different. Among them, the reflectivity of the plane mirror to 580 nm is 96.5%, and the reflectivity of the concave mirror of the optical fiber to 580 nm is 99.9%. The finesse of the optical fiber microcavity cavity is 180.
[0044] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the cavity length of the optical fiber microcavity is in the order of hundreds of micrometers or shorter. For example, the range of the cavity length of the optical fiber microcavity is set to 0.1 micrometer to 900 micrometers, so as to achieve a larger cavity resonance linewidth, and further improve the storage bandwidth of the solid-state quantum storage device based on the optical fiber microcavity, and realize time multimode multiplexing. Due to the large cavity resonance linewidth, using time-division multiplexing technology, time multimode storage can be supported; the volume of the optical fiber microcavity is one ten-thousandth cubic millimeter or smaller, which can support integrated applications. For the concave mirror of the optical fiber microcavity, using the optical fiber array technology, the rare-earth ion-doped crystal film is divided into multiple small storage units according to the optical fiber array, and an integrated quantum memory can be realized. The thickness of the rare-earth ion-doped crystal film is in the order of hundreds of micrometers or thinner. For example, the range of the thickness of the rare-earth ion-doped crystal film is set to 0.1 micrometer to 900 micrometers, to achieve the stress uniformity and broadband adjustment characteristics of the light absorption frequency of the rare-earth ion-doped crystal film under the action of the thin film stress adjustment device, generating high pressure under low stress, and through the thin film stress adjustment device, its light absorption frequency can be widely regulated. Under the action of the thin film stress adjustment device, the frequency adjustment range of the rare-earth ion-doped crystal film exceeds the inhomogeneous broadening of the rare-earth ion-doped crystal itself.
[0045] For example, when the cavity length of the optical fiber microcavity is 300 μm and the resonance linewidth of the cavity is 3 GHz, time multimode storage is realized using time-division multiplexing technology. The volume of the optical fiber microcavity is 4×10 -5 mm 3 。

[0047] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the cavity length locking system adjusts and locks the cavity length of the fiber microcavity according to the reference light by using a specified active feedback technique. In order to make the signal light resonate in the fiber microcavity, it is necessary to adjust the cavity length of the fiber microcavity. Therefore, the reference light is incident first, and by adjusting the cavity length of the fiber microcavity, the signal light resonates in the fiber microcavity, and the cavity length of the fiber microcavity at this time is locked. On this basis, when the frequency of the signal light changes, by changing the frequency of the reference light, the adaptive adjustment of the cavity length of the fiber microcavity is realized, so as to realize the resonance of signal lights of different frequencies in the fiber microcavity. Further, the high-efficiency quantum storage of signal lights of different frequencies is realized. The rare-earth ion-doped crystal thin film changes its absorption frequency of the signal light through the film stress adjustment device, and the fiber microcavity changes its resonance frequency of the signal light through the cavity length locking system, jointly realizing the high-efficiency quantum storage of signal lights of different frequencies. Among them, the specified active feedback technique is preferably the Pound-Drever-Hall locking technique, and the side-of-fringe locking technique can also be used.
[0048] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the cavity length adjustment device is preferably a stacked shear piezoelectric ceramic, and the fiber tail part of the fiber concave mirror in the fiber microcavity is fixed to the cavity length adjustment device with glue. In the side-of-fringe locking technique, the reference light detected by the photodetector is coupled into the reflected light signal of the fiber microcavity and input to the servo feedback device as an error signal. The output signal after being processed by the servo feedback device is amplified by a broadband amplifier and then output to the cavity length adjustment device.
[0049] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the film stress adjustment device is preferably a shear piezoelectric ceramic with a hole in the center. The side of the rare-earth ion-doped crystal thin film coated with the high-reflection film is fixed to the film stress adjustment device with glue. The film stress adjustment device can adjust the shear stress applied to the rare-earth ion-doped crystal thin film by applying different voltages. According to the principle of the piezospectroscopic effect, a stress of 10 N can generate an optical absorption frequency shift of 5 GHz on this rare-earth ion-doped crystal thin film. The optical absorption center of the rare-earth ion-doped crystal thin film at a temperature of 3.5 K corresponds to the frequency of the signal light after the action of the film stress adjustment device.
[0050] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the fiber microcavity adopts a plano-concave cavity structure, which can achieve high-efficiency mode matching of the fiber microcavity to the signal light, facilitating the absorption of the signal light by the microcavity storage unit. For the fiber microcavity combined with the rare-earth doped crystal film, according to the specific absorption band prepared by the pump light, high-efficiency impedance matching of the fiber microcavity to the signal light can be achieved. Combining with the high-efficiency mode matching is conducive to achieving complete absorption of the signal light by the microcavity storage unit. The rare-earth ion doped crystal film is obtained from a bulk rare-earth ion doped crystal by means of physical polishing and thinning, and the excellent optical coherence properties of the bulk rare-earth ion doped crystal at low temperature can be retained.
[0051] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the rare-earth ion doped crystal film can be a europium-doped yttrium silicate film, and isotope purification with a concentration of 0.07% is used 151 Eu 3+ as an example of the doped yttrium silicate crystal with an absorption coefficient of 4.6 per centimeter length.

The size of the prepared rare-earth doped crystal film is 4×5×0.2 mm 3 , and the surface roughness is 0.2 nm. The microcavity storage unit can be placed in a cryostat without a liquid helium compression mechanism to make the rare-earth doped crystal film in a low-temperature environment of about 3.5 K, ensuring its long optical coherence lifetime and spin energy level lifetime.

[0056] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the wavelength difference between the lasers generated by the first laser and the second laser is greater than 5 nanometers, that is, the wavelength difference between the reference light and the initial laser is greater than 5 nanometers. Such a setting is to effectively separate each other through an optical filtering device.
[0057] In the present invention, the linewidth within a specified range can be a linewidth below 10 kHz. The frequency of the second laser within a specified range is related to the optical transition frequency of the selected rare-earth ion-doped crystal thin film; the first laser can select a frequency-doubled semiconductor laser, which outputs a frequency-stabilized laser of 606 nm, with a power of 900 mW and a linewidth of the order of 1 kHz. The laser is locked to a temperature-controlled optical reference cavity by the Pound-Drever-Hall frequency locking technique to overcome the long-term drift caused by temperature changes and enhance the stability of the continuous operation of the system.
[0058] The second laser can be a frequency-doubled semiconductor laser, which outputs frequency-stabilized laser light at 580 nm, with a power of 900 mW and a linewidth on the order of 1 kHz. The frequency of this laser resonates with the optical absorption band of the yttrium orthosilicate crystal doped with europium. The laser is locked to a temperature-controlled optical reference cavity by the Pound-Drever-Hall frequency-locking technique to overcome the long-term drift caused by temperature changes and enhance the stability of the system's continuous operation.
[0059] Both the acousto-optic modulator and the signal light acousto-optic modulator include an arbitrary waveform generator, a radio frequency amplifier, and an acousto-optic modulation optical path. The acousto-optic modulator can be an acousto-optic modulator with a center frequency of 200 MHz; the signal light acousto-optic modulator is an acousto-optic modulator with a center frequency of 200 MHz. Among them, the signal light acousto-optic modulator modulates and generates signal light carrying time-bin qubits, and the optical field frequency of the signal light is the center frequency of 200 MHz.
[0060] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the detection unit includes a chopping device, a filtering device, a projective basis measurement device, and a single-photon counting and time-correlation device; the chopping device is used to remove the pump light from the optical signal output from the microcavity storage unit to obtain a detection optical signal; the filtering device is used to filter out the reference light in the detection optical signal to obtain the stored signal light; the projective basis measurement device is used to extract the qubit information in the stored signal light; the single-photon counting and time-correlation device is used to perform single-photon detection on the signal light after extracting the qubit information and count the cumulative number of the signal light after extracting the qubit information within a period of time.
[0061] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the chopping device can be a mechanical optical shutter switch; the filtering device can be a 580 nm band-pass narrowband filter; the single-photon counting and time-correlation device can be an avalanche silicon-based detector and a time-correlated single-photon counter. A projective basis measurement device can be arranged before the single-photon counting and time-correlation device, and then the bit information of the signal light read after storage is detected by the single-photon counting and time-correlation device.
[0062] According to an embodiment of the present invention, under the detuning of the fiber microcavity, the time-correlated photon statistical histogram of the signal light detected by the single-photon counting and time-correlation device; in the case where the fiber microcavity achieves resonance (not detuned), the time-correlated photon statistical histogram of the stored signal light detected by the single-photon counting and time-correlation device; the ratio of the sum of these two counts is the access efficiency of the signal light. This value will be output to the feedback optimization system in the mode of optimizing the comb-making parameters, and the feedback optimization system adjusts the pulse parameters of the pump light according to this ratio.
[0063] Among them, when the fiber optic microcavity is detuned, the number of prepared signal lights can be used as the statistical value of the photon statistical histogram of the time correlation of the signal lights detected by the detection unit; in the case where the fiber optic microcavity achieves resonance (not detuned), the statistical value of the number of signal lights detected by the detection unit is obtained, and the ratio of the sum of the two counts is calculated. When the access efficiency of the signal light is low, that is, when the ratio of the number of stored signal lights to the number of prepared signal lights is less than a preset value, it is considered that the pulse parameters of the pump light need to be adjusted to improve the access efficiency.
[0064] Since the number of prepared signal lights can be used as the statistical value of the photon statistical histogram of the time correlation of the signal lights detected by the detection unit, it can be considered that the number of prepared signal lights is known and does not need to be detected. Instead, the statistical value of the number of stored signal lights detected by the detection unit can be directly obtained, and the pulse parameters of the pump light can be adjusted according to this statistical value.
[0065] Figure 2 The structural block diagram of a solid-state quantum storage device based on a fiber optic microcavity according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown.
[0066] As Figure 2 shown, taking the solid-state quantum storage device based on a fiber optic microcavity in the debugging stage as an example, the solid-state quantum storage device based on a fiber optic microcavity will be described. The solid-state quantum storage device based on a fiber optic microcavity includes: an optical generation unit 11, a microcavity storage unit 12, and a detection unit 13; the optical generation unit 11 is used to generate the pump light and reference light required by the microcavity storage unit 12, prepare the signal light carrying quantum bits to be stored, and output the pump light, reference light, and signal light to the microcavity storage unit 12.
[0067] The optical generation unit 11 includes a first laser 111, a second laser 112, an acousto-optic modulator 113, a signal light acousto-optic modulator 114, and a feedback optimization system 115. The first laser 111 is used to generate a reference light for locking the cavity length of the fiber optic microcavity with a linewidth within a specified range and a tunable frequency, and output the reference light to the microcavity storage unit 12; the second laser 112 is used to generate a laser with a linewidth within a specified range and a frequency within a specified range; the acousto-optic modulator 113 is used to modulate the pump light required by the microcavity storage unit 12 according to the laser generated by the second laser 112, and output the pump light to the microcavity storage unit 12; the signal light acousto-optic modulator 114 is used to modulate the signal light carrying quantum bits to be stored according to the laser generated by the second laser 112, and output the signal light to the microcavity storage unit 12; the feedback optimization system 115 is used to feedback-optimize the pump light generated by the acousto-optic modulator 113 according to the readout efficiency of the signal light read out after storage detected by the detection unit 13.
[0068] The microcavity storage unit 12 includes: an optical fiber microcavity 121, a rare-earth ion-doped crystal thin film 122, a spring shock-absorbing platform 1231, a cavity length locking system 1232, and a thin film stress adjusting device 1233. The optical fiber microcavity 121 is an open Fabry-Perot cavity composed of a microscopic optical fiber concave mirror and a macroscopic plane mirror, and is used to enhance the interaction between the signal light and the rare-earth ion-doped crystal thin film 122; the rare-earth doped crystal thin film 122 is used to absorb the signal light according to a specific absorption band prepared by the pump light, and release the signal light after a specified time; the spring shock-absorbing platform 1231 is used to isolate the influence of vibration on the cavity length of the optical fiber microcavity 121; the cavity length locking system 1232 is used to adjust and lock the cavity length of the optical fiber microcavity 121 according to the reference light by using a specified feedback technique. The thin film stress adjusting device 1233 is used to change the absorption frequency of the rare-earth ion-doped crystal thin film for the signal light by adjusting the stress applied to the rare-earth ion-doped crystal thin film based on the piezophotoluminescence effect.
[0069] The detection unit 13 includes a chopping device 131, a filtering device 132, and a single-photon counting and time-correlation device 133; the chopping device 131 is used to separate the pump light in the time domain; the filtering device 132 is used to separate the reference light in the frequency domain; the single-photon counting and time-correlation device 133 is used to perform single-photon detection on the signal light read out after storage and complete the time-correlated photon counting statistical analysis.
[0070] When the solid-state quantum storage device based on the optical fiber microcavity is in the storage stage, the main difference from when it is in the debugging stage is that the signal light is output by the signal light source instead of being realized by the signal light acousto-optic modulator 114, which will not be elaborated here.
[0071] In Figure 2Among them, the object of action indicated by the dashed arrow means that the cavity length locking system 1232 has an adjustment effect on the fiber microcavity 121, the thin film stress adjustment device 1233 has an adjustment effect on the rare earth ion doped crystal thin film 122, the spring shock absorption platform 1231 has an adjustment effect on the fiber microcavity 121, the single photon counting and time correlation device 133 has an adjustment effect on the feedback optimization system 115, and the feedback optimization system 115 has an adjustment effect on the acousto-optic modulator 113. Specifically, the dashed arrow between the thin film stress adjustment device 1233 and the rare earth ion doped crystal thin film 122 indicates that the thin film stress adjustment device 1233 applies stress to the rare earth ion doped crystal thin film 122, the dashed arrow between the cavity length locking system 1232 and the fiber microcavity 121 indicates that the cavity length locking system 1232 adjusts the cavity length of the fiber microcavity 121, and the dashed arrow between the spring shock absorption platform 1231 and the fiber microcavity 121 indicates that the spring shock absorption platform 1231 isolates the influence of vibration on the cavity length of the fiber microcavity 121. The single photon counting and time correlation device 133 transmits the result of single photon detection to the feedback optimization system 115, the feedback optimization system 115 determines the parameters of the pump light according to the result of single photon detection, and the acousto-optic modulator 113 generates the corresponding pump light according to the parameters of the pump light.
[0072] Figure 3 Fig. shows a schematic diagram of component connections of a solid-state quantum storage device based on a fiber microcavity according to another embodiment of the present invention.
[0073] As Figure 3As shown, taking the solid-state quantum storage device based on an optical fiber microcavity in the debugging stage as an example, the solid-state quantum storage device based on an optical fiber microcavity will be described. The light emitted by the second laser 112 is modulated by the acousto-optic modulator 113 and the signal-light acousto-optic modulator 114 to generate pump light and signal light. At this time, the signal light is the signal light to be stored. The pump light and the signal light to be stored are first combined by the first optical beam splitter 116, and after passing through a single-mode optical fiber, they are combined with the reference light generated by the first laser 111 again through the 580 nm filter 14. This filter 14 is a signal-light wavelength filter. The single-mode optical fiber has an optical fiber collimating emission head. The reference light generated by the first laser 111 passes through the optical fiber collimating emission head and is reflected by the mirror 15 and then combined with the pump light and the signal light to be stored; the pump light and the signal light to be stored come out from the same single-mode emission head and have the same spatial mode. The pump light, the signal light to be stored, and the reference light are coupled into the optical fiber microcavity 121 through the lens group 16. The lens group 16 can adopt an anastigmatic lens group, and the mode matching efficiency can reach 99.9%. The thin-film stress adjustment device 1233 in the microcavity storage unit 12 applies stress to the rare-earth-ion-doped crystal thin film 122. Based on the piezospectroscopy effect, the light absorption frequency of the rare-earth-ion-doped crystal thin film 122 is changed, and the central frequency of the light absorption frequency is made consistent with the frequency of the signal light to be stored. The signal light to be stored will be fully absorbed by the rare-earth-ion-doped crystal thin film 122. Among them, after a period of time, the stored signal light is released in a way that propagates in the opposite direction to the signal light to be stored. The stored signal light can be extracted by the second optical beam splitter 117, and after passing through the chopping device 131 and the filtering device 132, it is detected by the single-photon counting and time-correlation device 133. In order to extract the stored signal light without loss, the second optical beam splitter 117 can be replaced by a Faraday rotator and an optical polarization beam splitter, and the stored signal light is extracted using the polarization dimension of light.
[0074] The solid-state quantum storage device based on an optical fiber microcavity further includes a chopping device 118 for pump light; the chopping device 118 for pump light is turned on when the pump light is emitted, and the chopping device 131 is turned off to realize the preparation of the absorption band by the pump light and protect the detection unit. When the signal light is emitted, the chopping device 118 for pump light is turned off, and the chopping device 131 is turned on. Because the pump light is relatively strong and the turn-off effect of the acousto-optic modulator 113 is insufficient, there will be leaked pump photons entering the microcavity storage unit and the detection unit. Although the leaked light is extremely weak and invisible to the naked eye, it is still fatal to the detection unit because the detection unit is to detect the signal light of single photons. The second optical beam splitter 117 is used to separate the stored optical signal output from the microcavity storage unit and the signal photons to be stored. The stored signal light and the signal light to be stored are collinear on the optical path, but the directions are opposite. The signal light to be stored goes to the storage unit, and the stored signal light returns from the microcavity storage unit, and can be completely separated by polarization.
[0075] Figure 4 Fig. shows a timing schematic diagram of the storage process of the solid-state quantum storage device based on an optical fiber microcavity according to another embodiment of the present invention.
[0076] As Figure 4 shown, before the storage process, the cavity length locking system locks the cavity length, and the reference light resonates with the optical fiber microcavity; adjusting the frequency of the reference light generated by the first laser will synchronously change the cavity length of the optical fiber microcavity, and find a specific frequency value of the reference light so that the signal light also resonates with the optical fiber microcavity; adjusting the voltage of the thin film stress adjusting device will synchronously change the light absorption frequency of the rare-earth ion-doped crystal thin film, and find a specific voltage value of the thin film stress adjusting device so that the central frequency of the light absorption frequency of the rare-earth ion-doped crystal thin film is consistent with the frequency of the signal light. During the storage process, the pump light modulated by the acousto-optic modulator completes the energy level population initialization and atomic frequency comb preparation by repeatedly using different swept-frequency pulses. The atomic frequency comb preparation pulse is preferably a parallel complex hyperbolic secant swept-frequency pulse. The acousto-optic modulator of the signal light modulates a signal light of a specific time pattern and outputs it to the microcavity storage unit. After a specific time, the microcavity storage unit releases the stored signal light. This specific time is related to the atomic frequency comb preparation parameters. In the comb parameter optimization mode, the feedback optimization system can feedback and optimize the pulse parameters of the atomic frequency comb preparation pulse of the pump light modulated by the acousto-optic modulator according to the cumulative count of the stored signal light detected by the detection unit during a period of storage process.
[0077] The storage efficiency η using the cavity-enhanced atomic frequency comb scheme can be simplified as:
[0078] .
[0079] Where η Mis the mode matching efficiency of the signal light coupled into the fiber microcavity, η deph represents the efficiency loss caused by the dephasing of the atomic frequency comb scheme, ε, and respectively represent the additional loss of the optical field in the round-trip cavity and the effective absorption depth of the rare-earth ion-doped crystal film.
[0080] When the ratio of the absorption of the film to the additional loss of the cavity is higher than 10 and the comb fineness, one of the preparation parameters of the atomic frequency comb, is higher than 5, the expected theoretical storage efficiency exceeds 75%.
[0081] The above describes the embodiments of the present invention. However, these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and not for limiting the scope of the present invention. Although the embodiments are described separately above, this does not mean that the measures in each embodiment cannot be used advantageously in combination. Without departing from the scope of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make various substitutions and modifications, and these substitutions and modifications should all fall within the scope of the present invention.
