Keywords:

quantum memory,rare-earth-ion-doped crystal

To realize long-distance quantum communication, quantum repeaters and quantum memories for synchronizing relay timing are indispensable. Aiming to realize highly efficient quantum memories capable of long-term storage, we utilize an Atomic Frequency Comb prepared in a rare-earth-ion-doped crystal, Pr3+:Y2SiO5. In this study, we report improvements in both efficiency and storage time achieved by replacing the cavity used for laser frequency stabilization with an Ultra Low Expansion cavity, which possesses a finesse approximately 10 times higher than conventional ones.
