  • 量子存储器是量子通信和量子网络中的重要器件,可用于存储量子态并按需读取,同时保持量子信息的完整性和稳定性.时间多模量子存储作为一种能够同时存储多个量子态的技术,对于提升量子通信效率、扩展存储容量具有重要意义.本文提出了一种基于电磁诱导透明效应的时间多模高效率量子存储方法,以原子系综为存储介质,通过动态调控控制光的拉比频率和控制光关断时间,实现对光子多脉冲的高效存储与按需读取.结果表明,该方法在大光学厚度的原子系综中可以同时实现较高的存储效率和多个存储模式,其中存储效率至少可达70%以上,在较少模式数时甚至高达90%左右.此外,还讨论了时间多模存储的模式数受光学厚度的限制,通过优化介质光学厚度可以进一步提升存储容量和效率.这种方法有效解决了量子态存储中的容量和灵活性问题,为量子网络中的信息处理和远距离量子通信提供了新思路和技术支持.

     

    Quantum memory is a key enabling component for quantum communication and large-scale quantum networks, as it allows for the storage and on-demand retrieval of quantum states while preserving their coherence and fidelity. In particular, time-multimode quantum storage, which enables the simultaneous storage of multiple temporal modes, plays a crucial role in improving communication rates and expanding storage capacity. In this work, we propose a high-efficiency time-multimode quantum storage scheme based on electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in cold atomic ensembles. By dynamically tailoring the Rabi frequency of the control field and optimizing the switching-off process of the control field, the storage and retrieval processes of multi-pulse photons are coherently controlled. A theoretical model is developed to systematically analyze the storage performance under large optical depth conditions. The results show that the proposed scheme can simultaneously achieve high storage efficiency and large multimode capacity. Specifically, the storage efficiency exceeds 70% for multiple temporal modes and can reach up to ~90% in the few-mode regime. Furthermore, we quantitatively reveal that the number of accessible temporal modes is fundamentally limited by the optical depth, and demonstrate that both storage capacity and efficiency can be significantly improved through optimization of the medium parameters. These results provide an effective approach to overcoming the trade-off between storage capacity and efficiency in quantum memory, and offer a promising route toward high-throughput quantum information processing and long-distance quantum communication.
