Abstract

Photonic quantum memories will play an essential role in several quantum information protocols, including distributed quantum computing, quantum sensing, and the synchronization of repeater nodes. Most photonic memories operate by storing the photon in matter-based systems, but those approaches have limitations. Namely, they are inherently narrow bandwidth, often require costly overhead in the form of cryogenics, and typically have low retrieval efficiency into single-mode fiber. In this work, we develop a photonic quantum memory that operates at room temperature in free space, allowing us to avoid the aforementioned drawbacks.
