  • Abstract
    Quantum memories are essential for quantum data processing. Most suggested approaches rely on storage in atomic media, with bandwidths much narrower than those of the single photons used in quantum communication. We present our work on a cavity based system tailored to generate the narrowest photons from parametric down-conversion to date, suitable for storage in gradient echo memories.
