Deterministic storage and retrieval of telecom light from a quantum dot single-photon source interfaced with an atomic quantum memory

Deterministic storage and retrieval of telecom light from a quantum dot single-photon source interfaced with an atomic quantum memory A hybrid interface of solid-state single-photon sources and atomic quantum memories is a long sought-after goal in photonic quantum technologies. Here, we demonstrate deterministic storage and retrieval of light from a semiconductor quantum dot in an atomic ensemble quantum memory at telecommunications wavelengths. We store single photons from an indium arsenide ...
