Quantum sources, memories, and applications: Better living through time-multiplexing
Presented by Paul Kwiat, University of Illinois
The usual pair sources of photons used for optical quantum information processing have the disadvantage that one doesn't know when the photons will be produced. However, using a time-multiplexing technique, one can realize a nearly deterministic source of single photons. Moreover, this can be generalized to produce multi-photon states at rates many orders of magnitude beyond what is otherwise possible. I will discuss our progress on such a source, a new "digital" quantum memory, and applications to a novel quantum cryptography protocol.
