Abstract
Hybrid quantum technologies seek to combine the advantages of two individual quantum architectures by transferring the information between the two systems. We want to benefit from the high mobility and ease of transmission of photons for quantum communication and exploit the excellent readout and storage capabilities of atomic qubits as a quantum memory, which is essential to build up quantum repeater networks for quantum data processing. Efficient interaction of photons with atoms requires a match of the photons spectral properties to those of the resonances of the atomic species. The atomic transition usually has a much narrower bandwidth than single photons generated by spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC), the current gold standard of producing high-purity heralded single photons at flexible wavelengths. To develop hybrid quantum technologies therefore requires significantly reducing the single photon emission spectra to fulfill these requirements. The way we try to achieve this is by using an optical cavity to enhance the probability of creating the photons in the spectral and spatial resonator mode.
