Warm-rubidium-ensemble DLCZ quantum memory
I am currently working on a warm-rubidium-ensemble DLCZ quantum-memory experiment. Following completion of the Sagnac/SMZI optical paths, both clockwise and counterclockwise write–read processes are now operational. Current work focuses on Stokes–anti-Stokes cross-correlation measurements before subsequent entanglement experiments.
Stage 2 · Write–read correlation
Stokes–anti-Stokes cross-correlation measurement
The two counterpropagating processes have been operated and verified independently. TDC coincidence measurements currently reach a Stokes–anti-Stokes cross-correlation of approximately 10, providing an operating baseline for later entanglement measurements.
Bidirectional DLCZ write–read and detection setupSagnac loop, write/read preparation, Stokes and anti-Stokes filtering, single-photon detection, and TDC coincidence acquisition used for the current cross-correlation measurement.

Sagnac phase-stability characterization
Built common-path and displaced Sagnac configurations and characterized their phase stability before commissioning the bidirectional write–read processes.
