Polarized single photons from a cavity-enhanced atom-light interface with coherent re-preparation
Jan Ole Ernst, Juan-Rafael Álvarez, Thomas D. Barrett, Axel Kuhn · Quantum 2.0 Conference and Exhibition · 2022
We propose a scheme to generate single photons from 87Rb atoms. The com-bination of coherent STIRAP re-preparation and optical pumping allows for the efficient generation of streams of indistinguishable photons with promising use-cases.
