2. 1. Coherent Processes in Rare-Earth-Ion-Doped Solids

   Author : Andreas Walther; Atomfysik; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; quantum memories; laser stabilization; quantum computation; rare-earth-ion-doped crystals; spectral hole-burning; superradiance; entanglement; spectroscopy; slow light;

   Abstract : This thesis describes a number of coherent processes, such as quantum information processing, superradiance and electromagnetically induced transparency, which have been experimentally implemented using rare-earth-ion-doped crystals. The rare-earths are a class of elements that have in common, an atomic structure that allows for very long lifetimes as well as coherence times, both on optical transitions and on spin transitions.

4. 2. Quantum computing with naturally trapped sub-nanometre-spaced ions

   Author : Lars Rippe; Atomfysik; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Laserteknik; Laser technology; Atom- och molekylärfysik; Atomic and molecular physics; akustik; optik; Elektromagnetism; optics; acoustics; Electromagnetism; Fysik; Physics; entanglement; spectroscopy; rare-earth-metal-ion-doped crystals spectral hole-burning; inversion; excitation; laser stabilization; quantum computation; quantum gate;

   Abstract : The main aim of this work, was to lay the foundations for the experimental realisation of a quantum mechanical controlled NOT gate in rare-earth-metal-ion-doped crystals. Small amounts of rare-earth elements, added during the growth of some inorganic crystals, will become substituted into the crystal lattice as trivalent ions. READ MORE

5. 3. Towards Efficient Quantum Memories in Rare-Earth-Ion-Doped Solids

   Author : Atia Amari; Atomfysik; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; rare-earth-ion-doped crystals; spectral hole-burning spectroscopy; AFC; CRIB; superradiance; slow light; Quantum memories; photon echo; EIT;

   Abstract : This thesis describes experiments aimed at developing a key component in applications such as quantum networks and long-distance quantum communication systems: quantum memories. Quantum memories for light using photon-echo and coherent rephrasing techniques have been developed. The work is carried out on rare-earth-ion-doped inorganic crystals. READ MORE

6. 4. Radiative Properties of Rare Earth Elements - Free and Bound in Crystals

   Author : Huailiang Xu; Atomfysik; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Laser Spectroscopy; Upconversion; Lifetimes; Atomic and molecular physics; Atom- och molekylärfysik; Laser technology; Laserteknik; Rare earth Elements; Fysicumarkivet A:2004:Xu;

   Abstract : This thesis is devoted to fundamental aspects, and to spectroscopic applications of radiative properties in free atoms and ions, as well as in ions doped into crystals. Using the time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence technique, measurements of radiative lifetimes for rare earth elements have been performed in neutral Pr, Nd, Tm, and in singly ionized Sm, Er, Nd, Tm, Yb, as well as in doubly ionized Tm and Tb ions.
