• Abstract summary: Experimental results are presented on the efficiency limits for a quantum interface between a matter-based qubit and a photonic qubit. We obtain a single ion-entangled photon at the cavity output with a probability of 0.69(3). The generation and detection of up to 15 sequential polarised photons demonstrates the ability of a trapped ion to serve as a multi-photon source.

• Abstract: Experimental results are presented on the efficiency limits for a quantum interface between a matter-based qubit and a photonic qubit. Using a trapped ion in an optical cavity, we obtain a single ion-entangled photon at the cavity output with a probability of 0.69(3). The performance of our system is shown to saturate the upper limit to photon-collection probability from a quantum emitter in a cavity, set by the emitter's electronic structure and by the cavity parameters. The probability for generating and detecting the ion-entangled fiber-coupled photon is 0.462(3), a five-fold increase over the previous best performance. Finally, the generation and detection of up to 15 sequential polarised photons demonstrates the ability of a trapped ion to serve as a multi-photon source. The comparison between measured probabilities and predicted bounds is relevant for quantum emitters beyond trapped ions, in particular, for the design of future systems optimising photon collection from, and absorption in, quantum matter.

  Multi-photon interference is at the heart of photonic quantum technologies. Here, we experimentally demonstrate that detection can be implemented with a temporal resolution sufficient to interfere photons detuned on the scales necessary for cavity-based integrated photon sources. We show how time-resolved detection of non-ideal photons can be used to improve the fidelity of an entangling operation and to mitigate the reduction of computational complexity in boson sampling experiments.

  The ability to detect single photons has become increasingly essential due to the rise of photon-based quantum computing. We propose a system consisting of a quantum dot (QD) side-coupled to a superconducting nanowire. We show that the absorbed photoelectron decays via rapid (sub-nanosecond to nanosecond) nonradiative heat transfer to the nanowire phonon modes.

  We report high-fidelity state readout of a trapped ion qubit using a trap-integrated photon detector. Average readout fidelity is 0.9991(1) with a mean readout duration of 46 $mu$s. Because there are no intervening optical elements between the ion and the detector, we can use the ion fluorescence as a self-calibrated photon source to determine the detector quantum efficiency and its dependence on photon incidence angle and polarization.
