Ultrafast Quantum Processing at Room-Temperature in Bulk Diamond Phonons

ORAL

Abstract

The two-level system comprised of the acoustic phonon and optical phonon of bulk diamond provides a unique opportunity for quantum processing at room-temperature with ultrafast rates. We present several applications including the generation of macroscopic non-classical states, a quantum memory for storing broad-band photons, and the generation of true random numbers from vacuum fluctuations.
