摘要：

Quantum frequency conversion of single photons between wavelength bands is a key enabler to realizing widespread quantum networks. We demonstrate the quantum frequency conversion of a heralded 1551 nm photon to any wavelength within an ultrabroad (1226-1408 nm) range in a group-velocity-symmetric photonic crystal fiber, covering over 150 independent frequency bins. The target wavelength is controlled by tuning only a single pump laser wavelength. We find internal, and total, conversion efficiencies of 12 (1)% and 1.4(2)%, respectively. For the case of converting 1551 to 1300 nm we measure a heralded g((2))(0) = 0.25(6) for converted light from an input with g((2))(0) = 0.034(8). We expect that this photonic crystal fiber can be used for myriad quantum networking tasks.
