Quantum Storage of Heralded Polarization Qubits in Birefringent and Anisotropically Absorbing Materials

Quantum Storage of Heralded Polarization Qubits in Birefringent and Anisotropically Absorbing Materials

Storage of quantum information encoded into heralded single photons is an essential constituent of long-distance quantum communication based on quantum repeaters and of optical quantum information processing. The storage of photonic polarization qubits is, however, difficult because many materials are birefringent and have polarization-dependent absorption. Here we present a simple …
