Abstract
The efficient conversion of photons into matter degrees of freedom is a hallmark of almost all quantum technology. Quantum communication for example relies on storing, retrieval as well as processing of photonic quantum information in matter qubits and quantum sensing is greatly facilitated by converting quantum signals into photon states. The talk will describe a novel matter-photon interface based on defects in solids. Efficient spin to photon conversion and multimode optical storage as well as processing will be described. Quite intriguingly, the same spin-photon interfaces can be used for novel quantum sensors converting e.g. magnetic and electric fields or even force into photonics signals with unprecedented sensitivity.
