Pin-Ju Tsai, Ya-Fen Hsiao, Ying-Cheng Chen
Abstract
This paper demonstrates the storage and manipulation of heralded single photons generated from a cavity-enhanced spontaneous parametric down-conversion source in atomic memories based on electromagnetically induced transparency. By varying the intensity of the coupling beam during retrieval process, the authors show that the waveform, bandwidth, and nonclassical correlation of the heralded single photons can be manipulated.
