Project description
Highly efficient integrated single photon sources, which match the wavelengths and linewidths of cesium and rubidium transitions, will be implemented based on a versatile aluminum nitride platform. By means of spatial-mode multiplexing of up to eight sources on one chip, we aim to realize efficiencies above 90 %. Storage and retrieval of single narrowband photons in an atomic quantum memory will be demonstrated.
