«The experiment demonstrated the comb's functionality as a comparative frequency divider
between the optical
rubidium transition at 384 THz and the cesium clock providing a 10 MHz reference,» said Lezius.
We will pursue a hybrid approach, exploiting the strong single - and two - photon absorption possible in the gas - phase of
rubidium atoms, together with integrated - photonics, to achieve strong interactions
between photons and atoms, and use these interactions to achieve efficient quantum memories, efficient photon detectors, and reliable entangling gates.
