Storage of photonic time-bin qubits for up to 20 ms in a rare-earth doped crystal

Abstract Long-duration quantum memories for photonic qubits are essential components for achieving long-distance quantum networks and repeaters. The mapping of optical states onto coherent spin-waves in rare earth ensembles is a particularly promising approach to quantum storage. However, it remains...
