• Abstract: Atomic frequency comb (AFC) quantum memories are a promising technology for quantum repeater networks because they enable multi-mode, high-fidelity storage of photons with on-demand retrieval. The optimization of the retrieval efficiency of an AFC memory is important because it strongly impacts the entanglement generation rate in quantum networks. Despite initial theoretical analyses and recent experimental demonstrations, a rigorous proof of the universally optimal configuration for the highest AFC retrieval efficiency has not been presented. In this paper we offer a simple analytical proof which shows that the optimized square-tooth AFC provides the highest retrieval efficiency among all possible comb tooth shapes, under the physical constraint of maximal optical depth of an atomic ensemble. The optimality still holds even when the non-zero background absorption and the finite homogeneous broadening of atoms are considered. Our proof provides experimentalists with rigorous arguments how to create optimal AFC under realistic experimental conditions. Finally, we also identify other functional optimization problems where our proof technique is applicable, thus proving the optimality of the square function in more general scenarios.

  Photonic quantum memory is a crucial elementary operation in photonic quantum information processing. We focus on inhomogeneously broadened ensembles of $Lambda$-type quantum emitters, which have long coherence lifetimes and broad bandwidth compatibility. We investigate the properties of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) for a survey of inhomogeneous lineshapes that are straightforward to realize experimentally. We compare the optimal EIT efficiency to the well-known atomic frequency comb (AFC) protocol, which also relies on spectral shaping of the inhomogeneous broadening.

  Atomic frequency comb (AFC) quantum memory is a favorable protocol in long distance quantum communication.

We develop a theoretical model for cavity-enhanced AFC quantum memory that includes the effects of dispersion.
