- Abstract: We report a fiber loop quantum buffer based on a low-loss 2$\times$2 switch
and a unit delay made of a fiber delay line. We characterize the device by
using a two-photon polarization entangled state in which one photon of the
entangled photon pair is stored and retrieved at a repetition rate up to
78$\,\rm{kHz}$. The device, which enables integer multiples of a unit delay,
can store the qubit state in a unit of fiber delay line up to 5.4$\,\rm{km}$
and the number of loop round-trips up to 3. Furthermore, we configure the
device with other active elements to realize integer multiplies and divider of
a unit delay of a qubit. The quantum state tomography is performed on the
retrieved photon and its entangled photon. We obtain a state fidelity $>94\%$
with a maximum storage time of 52$\,\mu\rm{sec}$. To further characterize the
storing and retrieving processes of the device, we perform
entanglement-assisted quantum process tomography on the buffered qubit state.
The process fidelity of the device is $>$ 0.98. Our result implies that the
device preserves the superposition and entanglement of a qubit state from a
two-photon polarization-entangled state. This is a significant step towards
facilitating applications in optical asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) based
quantum networks.

Bosonic quantum error correcting codes are primarily designed to protect against single-photon loss.
Error correction requires a recovery operation that maps the error states -- which have opposite parity -- back onto the code states.
Here, we realize a collection of photon-number-selective, simultaneous photon addition operations on a bosonic mode.

Current implementations of quantum bits (qubits) continue to undergo too many errors to be scaled into useful quantum machines.
An emerging strategy is to encode quantum information in the two meta-stable pointer states of an oscillator exchanging pairs of photons with its environment.
We attain bit-flip times of the order of 100 seconds for states pinned by two-photon dissipation and containing about 40 photons.

Long-duration quantum memories for photonic qubits are essential components for achieving long-distance quantum networks and repeaters.
