Date/Time: Tue Apr 08 2025 at 14:00<br/><br/>Location: Remote<br/><br/>Speaker: Andrew MacRae (U Victoria)<br/><br/>Title: Atom-Based Quantum Memories and Sources for Telecom Integration<br/><br/>Abstract: I will provide an overview of the emerging concept of the quantum internet, exploring its foundational building blocks, its exciting potential, and the daunting challenges to making it work. I will then delve into three projects underway at the University of Victoria, each attempting to address some of these challenges: (1) Benchmarking and testing the field-deployability of a commercial quantum memory, (2) developing a wavelength conversion scheme from rubidium to telecom wavelengths for integration quantum memories with existing fiber-optic networks, and (3) designing a cavity-enhanced source of squeezed light to boost the efficiency of quantum communication protocols.
