Towards high-speed optical quantum memories

Quantum memories, capable of controllably storing and releasing a photon, are a crucial component for quantum computers1 and quantum communications2. To date, quantum memories3-6 have operated with bandwidths that limit data rates to megahertz. Here we report the coherent storage and retrieval of su...
