Quantum Memory Crystals

Teledyne FLIR Defense produces rare-earth-ion doped Y2SiO5 and Y3Ga5O12, among other solid-state quantum memory crystals for Quantum Information Science applications. Our materials exhibit very long optical and spin coherence lifetimes at liquid helium temperatures, may be multiplexed in time, space and frequency domains, and take advantage of the SNR associated with addressing ensembles of ions trapped in a crystal lattice.
