We demonstrate ultrafast coherent coupling between an atomic qubit stored in a single trapped cadmium ion and a photonic qubit represented by two resolved frequencies of a photon. Such ultrafast coupling is crucial for entangling networks of remotely-located trapped ions through photon interference, and is also a key component for realizing ultrafast quantum gates between Coulomb-coupled ions.
Quantum memory will be a key component in future quantum networks, and atomic frequency combs (AFCs) in rare-earth-doped crystals are one promising platform for realizing this technology. We theoretically and experimentally investigate the formation
We demonstrate single qubit operations on a trapped atom hyperfine qubit using a single ultrafast pulse from a mode-locked laser. We shape the pulse from the laser and perform a pi rotation of the qubit in less than 50 ps with a population transfer e
We demonstrate the use of an optical frequency comb to coherently control and entangle atomic qubits. A train of off-resonant ultrafast laser pulses is used to efficiently and coherently transfer population between electronic and vibrational states o
State preparation, qubit rotation, and high fidelity readout are demonstrated for two separate baseven qubit types. First, an optical qubit on the narrow 6S$_{1/2}$ to 5D$_{5/2}$ transition at 1.76 $mu$m is implemented. Then, leveraging the technique
We present a way to transfer maximally- or partially-entangled states of n single-photon-state (SPS) qubits onto n coherent-state (CS) qubits, by employing 2n microwave cavities coupled to a superconducting flux qutrit. The two logic states of a SPS
