Photon echo quantum memory and state transformation
A recently proposed, photon echo related approach to quantum state storage in atomic ensembles employs controlled reversible inhomogeneous broadening (CRIB). Beyond storage, a modified version of CRIB...

We haverecently developed a technique for local, reversible tuning of individualquantum dots on a photonic crystal chip by up to1.8nm, which overcomes the problem of large quantum dot inhomogeneousbroadening - usually considered the main obstacle in employing suchplatform in practical quantum information processing systems. We have thenused this technique to tune single quantum dots into strongcoupling with a photonic crystal cavity, and observed strong couplingboth in photoluminescence and in resonant light scattering from thesystem, as needed for several proposals for scalable quantum informationnetworks and quantum computation.
