Optimal Storage and Retrieval of Single-Photon Waveforms
Published 11 Jul 2012 in quant-ph | (1207.2670v1)
Abstract: We report an experimental demonstration of optimal storage and retrieval of heralded single-photon wave packets using electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in cold atoms at a high optical depth. We obtain an optimal storage efficiency of (49+/-3)% for single-photon waveforms with a temporal likeness of 96%. Our result brings the EIT quantum light-matter interface close to practical quantum information applications.
