Storage and manipulation of single x-ray photons via nuclear hyperfine splitting

Quantum Physics 2022-08-17 v2

Abstract

We introduce a technique to store and manipulate single x-ray photons which relies on dynamically controlled absorption via nuclear hyperfine magnetic splitting. This scheme is inherently suitable for storage, on-demand generation and dynamical manipulation of single x-ray photons, for instance, the manipulation of the temporal shape, temporal splitting, the interference between x-ray photons and the control of the polarization. Our approach opens up new paths in x-ray quantum information.
