Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research project, in order to strengthen our research on quantum operation in frequency domain, we have performed the fundamental research for enhancing the nonlinear optical effect by optical microcavities and the applied research for a quantum frequency conversion for a single photon emitted from a single trapped ion with foreign collaborators. We developed a bottle microresonator with a high Q factor and observed several phenomena given by the enhanced nonlinear optical effects. Furthermore, we showed the potential of a long-distance quantum communication with trapped ions.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

量子コンピューターや量子インターネットを光で実現していくためには、多重化や長距離化に向けた今後の展開が非常に重要となってくる。このために量子領域で増強された非線形光学効果が利用できることが重要である。本研究では、その基礎となる微小光共振器による非線形光学効果の増強やイオントラップに利用できる光周波数変換を示すことができ、今後の展開に非常に期待ができる。
