• Abstract: The exploitation of multimodality in different degrees of freedom is one of the most promising ways to increase the rate of heralded entanglement between distant quantum nodes. In this paper, we realize a spatially-multiplexed solid-state quantum memory array with ten individually controllable spin-wave memory cells featuring on-demand read-out and temporal multiplexing. By combining spatial and temporal multiplexing, we store weak coherent pulses at the single-photon level in up to 250 spatio-temporal modes, with an average signal-to-noise ratio of 10(2). We perform a thorough characterization of the whole system, including its multiplexing and demultiplexing stage. We verify that the memory array exhibits low cross-talk even at the single-photon level. The measured performance indicates readiness for storing non-classical states and promises a speed-up in entanglement distribution rates.

The successful probability of ES in our scheme is increased by three times, compared with that in non-multiplexed scheme.

Here we report the demonstration of heralded entanglement between two spatially separated quantum nodes, where the entanglement is stored in multimode solid-state quantum memories. We also show that the generated entanglement is robust against loss in the heralding path, and demonstrate temporally multiplexed operation, with 62 temporal modes.

  We investigate a quantum system simultaneously exposed to two structured reservoirs. We employ a numerically exact quasi-2D tensor network combining both diagonal and off-diagonal system-reservoir interactions with a twofold memory for continuous and discrete retardation effects. As a possible example, we study the non-Markovian interplay between discrete photonic feedback and structured acoustic phononovian modes, resulting in emerging inter-reservoir correlations and long-living population trapping within an initially-excited two-level system.
