In this paper we present universal broadband multi-resonator quantum memory (MR-QM) based on the spatial-frequency combs of the microresonators coupled with a common waveguide. Here we found new Bragg-type impedance matching condition for the coupling of the microresonators with a waveguide field which provides an efficient broadband quantum storage. The obtained analytical solution for the microresonator fields enables sustainable parametric control of all the memory characteristics.

In this paper we experimentally demonstrated a broadband scheme of the multiresonator quantum memory-interface. The microwave photonic scheme consists of the system of mini-resonators strongly interacting with a common broadband resonator coupled with the external waveguide. We have implemented the impedance matched quantum storage in this scheme via controllable tuning of the mini-resonator frequencies and coupling of the common resonator with the external waveguide. Proof-of-principal experiment has been demonstrated for broadband microwave pulses when the quantum efficiency of 16.3% was achieved at room temperature. By using the obtained experimental spectroscopic data, the dynamics of the signal retrieval has been simulated and promising results were found for high-Q mini-resonators in microwave and optical frequency ranges. The results pave the way for the experimental implementation of broadband quantum memory-interface with quite high efficiency η > 0.99 on the basis of modern technologies, including optical quantum memory at room temperature.

Synthesis and application of nanostructured materials applicable in the assembly of electrochemical sensors is one of the important trends in material sciences and analytical chemistry. In this work, we have proposed and implemented simple non-template method for assembling nanofibers from the polyaniline ultrasonicated with phenyliminophenothiazine in aqueous media. Two-step procedure including association with emeraldine dispersion and reorganization under ultrasonication led to formation of nanofibrillar structures with average diameter of 20 nm. UV-spectroscopy confirms that association of phenyliminophenothiazine and polyaniline in acidic medium resulted in an intense absorption band at 900–910 nm due to donor-acceptor interaction between the reactants. The material combined emeraldine charge transmission with redox activity of phenyliminophenothiazine was found promising for electrochemical sensing. It was confirmed by comparison of characteristics of appropriate solid-contact sensors based on emeraldine and phenyliminophenothiazine toward Fe(III) ions, ascorbic acid and hydroquinone. In all the cases, the use of phenyliminophenothiazine results in a wider concentration range and more reproducible signal against characteristics of similar sensor based on polyaniline. The applicability of the sensor was confirmed by determination of iron content in commercial medication.
