Integrated spin-wave quantum memory.

ABSTRACT: Photonic integrated quantum memories are essential for the construction of scalable quantum networks. Spin-wave quantum storage, which can support on-demand retrieval with a long lifetime, is indispensable for practical applications, but has never been demonstrated in an integrated solid-state device. Here, we demonstrate spin-wave quantum storage based on a laser-written waveguide fabricated in a ¹⁵¹Eu³⁺:Y₂SiO₅ crystal, using both the atomic frequency comb and noiseless photon-echo protocols. Qubits encoded with single-photon-level inputs are stored and retrieved with a fidelity of [Formula: see text], which is far beyond the maximal fidelity that can be obtained with any classical device. Our results underline the potential of laser-written int
