Storing GHz bandwidth heralded single photons in a room-temperature raman memory: Efficiency and noise

We store GHz-bandwidth heralded single photons in a room-temperature Raman memory, which is a crucial primitive for scalable quantum photonics. We discuss methods to suppress four-wave mixing noise, which accompanies the retrieved photons. © 2014 Optical Society of America.
