By integrating a quantum memory protocol with the transduction process, they suppress noise from the pump field, achieving as few as 0.3-0.4 noise photons at storage durations of 460-620 microseconds. The system also shows multimode capacity, which could boost entanglement generation rates for quantum repeater networks linking superconducting quantum devices via optical channels. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
