On October 15th, reports surfaced indicating that, on the preceding day, journalists had received news from the University of Science and Technology of China. A research team, composed of groups led by Pan Jianwei and Zhang Qiang from the university, in collaboration with Zheng Mingyang's team from the Jinan Institute of Quantum Technology, has achieved a significant breakthrough in the realm of efficient quantum interconnection. This advancement specifically pertains to the integration of ultraviolet-band ion-trap memories with communication optical fibers. The team successfully accomplished high-efficiency, low-noise quantum frequency conversion within the wavelength spectrum spanning from 393 nanometers to 1550 nanometers. This feat sets a new global benchmark for quantum frequency conversion efficiency and noise reduction within this particular wavelength band, offering vital technical backing for the long-distance interconnection of trapped-ion nodes in scalable quantum networks. The pertinent research outcomes have been documented and published in the esteemed academic journal Physical Review Letters.
