Development of a platform of hollow-core optical fibers filled with Rubidium for quantum applications (memories, detection, computing). Project launched in September 2023, for a period of 13 months. The LP2N “cold atoms” team and ALPHANOV are collaborating on a proof of concept of fully fiber quantum memory using a hollow-core fiber filled with rubidium vapor.
This project builds on technological capabilities already demonstrated within the consortium in the production of bright atom sources, the cooling, manipulation and trapping of ultra-cold atoms in optical dipole traps and the functionalization of hollow-core fibers.
