Wherein, the microwave source 2 generates two microwave signals MW1 and MW2 with different frequencies and different electric field intensities, MW1 is signal microwave 208, MW2 is auxiliary microwave 209, and the waveforms are modulated by the signal modulator 4.
As shown in fig. 2, the left side is an energy level structure diagram of microwave photon storage generated by atoms in the cigar type cold atomic group 1. Taking rubidium 87 atom as an example, 201 (5S 1/2 F=2, mf=2) is the ground state of rubidium atom, 202(5P 3/2 F=3) is an intermediate excited state of rubidium atom, 203 (47S) 1/2 )、204(47P 3/2 ) And 205 (48P) 3/2 ) Three reed burg states of rubidium atoms respectively; 206 is probe light with a wavelength of 780nm, 207 is coupled light with a wavelength of 480 nm; 208 is in the state of Redberg 47S 1/2 →47P 3/2 Signal microwaves with the inter-transition resonance and the frequency of 37.52000 GHz; 209 is in the Redberg state 47P 3/2 →48P 3/2 The inter-transition resonance is an auxiliary microwave with a frequency of 37.83000 GHz.

When the probe light 206 and the coupling light 207 are incident on the cigar-type cold atomic group 1 in opposite directions, an electromagnetic induction transparent window is formed. At this time, the signal microwave 208 and the auxiliary microwave 209 are added, which are modulated by the waveform, and the transition resonance between the signal microwave 208 and the reed burg states 203 and 204, and the transition resonance between the auxiliary microwave 209 and the reed burg states 204 and 205.

The auxiliary light wave 211 has a small detuning from the resonance transitions of the reed-burg state 205 and the intermediate excited state 210, and three consecutive EIT processes are coupled to each other, resulting in a change in the two-photon resonance conditions in the EIT, a change in the position of the transparent window of the medium for generating the light wave 212, and a transparency of the medium for generating the light wave 212. The amplitude and phase information of the signal microwaves 208 can be stored and then converted into light waves 212 to be read out by the controllable six-wave mixing technique.

step 301, reversely pumping the detection light 206 and the coupling light 207 into the cigar type cold atomic group 1 to excite the reed burg atoms;
step 302, emitting modulated signal microwaves 208 and auxiliary microwaves 209 by the loudspeaker 5 to form a cascade three-energy-level ATS storage system, and converting the signal microwaves 208 into a reed burg polaron;
in step 303, only the modulated auxiliary light wave 211 is turned on, the reed-burg polarons are converted into light wave signals 212, and data acquisition is completed through the photomultiplier 11.
The invention relates to a controllable broadband microwave photon storage implementation method based on six-wave mixing, which adopts the working principle that in a prepared cigar type cold atomic group 1, detection light 206 and coupling light 207 generated by two tunable lasers are respectively introduced into the atomic group from two ends of the cigar type cold atomic group 1 by utilizing optical fibers, and the detection light 206 and the coupling light 207 are overlapped in the cigar type cold atomic group 1. Under the combined action of the single-photon and two-photon resonance detection light 206 and the coupling light 207, an electromagnetic induction transparent window is formed. The microwave source 2 generates two microwave signals, which are modulated by the signal modulator 4, into modulated signal microwaves 208 and modulated auxiliary microwaves 209. The two microwave signals are transmitted to the horn 5 by the power divider, and the two microwave signals are transmitted in the coupling light input direction by the horn 5. The signal microwaves 208 resonantly couple the two reed burg states of the rubidium atoms, and at this time, absorption of microwaves by the reed burg atoms occurs; the auxiliary microwaves 209 then dynamically regulate the absorption by generating a strong driving field. Under dynamic control of the auxiliary microwaves 209, the signal microwaves 208 are rapidly stored as reed burg polarons and are stored in an atomic ensemble. After the storage is completed, the probe light 206, the coupling light 207, the signal microwaves 208 and the auxiliary microwaves 209 are turned off rapidly, and the polarization sub-state of the reed burg is maintained. The controllably modulated auxiliary light wave 211 is transmitted into the cigar radical 1 within the range of the reed-solomon polaron coherence time, the auxiliary light wave 211 being directed in the same direction as the probe light 206 is incident. The auxiliary light wave 211 is used for converting the Redberg polarons into light waves, so that the conversion from signal microwaves into light waves is realized. Meanwhile, the controllable microwave photon storage process is realized by utilizing the auxiliary light wave 211 with controllable input time. The optical wave signal collected by the photomultiplier 11 is recovered to an optical wave waveform through the lock-in amplifier 12, and the storage efficiency can be calculated by performing time integration on the optical wave waveform.
In conclusion, the method based on the Lidberg atomic six-wave mixing process combines with the ATS quantum storage technology to realize high-efficiency microwave optical wave coherent conversion, and the bandwidth can be widened to 8-9MHz, so that the channel capacity of microwave photon storage is greatly improved; the information can be transmitted through amplitude modulation and phase modulation, and the received minimum electric field strength and sensitivity are low to the nano-volt level, so that the storage close to the level of single microwave photons can be realized; compared with microwaves with transmission loss of 1dB/m, the method converts the information of microwave photons into light waves with transmission loss of 0.3dB/km, is more convenient for remote transmission of quantum information, and has wide application prospect and scientific research value.
