Experimental generation of coherent-state superpositions with a quantum memory

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: We implement an iterative scheme for the generation of coherent states superpositions, using a quantum memory to take advantage of the iterative nature of the protocol. The generation rate has thus been increased by one order of magnitude, reaching 100 (Hz). Furthermore, the generated states were stored in the quantum memory during 184 (ns) before their characterization, paving the way toward the implementation of more complex iterative protocols.
