Abstract
Quantum entanglement sources and memories are critical for quantum networking architecture. For high-rate networking, it is important that both technologies are compatible with each other and existing fiber infrastructure. We present our work on the development of a bichromatic photon source (one in the telecom band and one at near-IR) based on warm atomic vapors. We characterize the source, and show our progress towards interfacing it with atomic memories. This paves the way towards building a quantum repeater node based on room-temperature technologies. These narrow linewidth photons are natively well-suited for interfacing with many quantum communication, computation and sensing technologies.
