Raman quantum memory with built-in suppression of four-wave-mixing noise

Published in Physical Review A, 2019

This paper is about suppressing four-wave mixing noise within a Raman quantum memory. We demonstrate the potential for single-photon storage using this scheme.

Preparing Narrow Velocity Distributions for Quantum Memories in Room-Temperature Alkali Vapours

Published in Physical Review A, 2021

This paper is about velocity selective optical pumping to overcome motionally induced dephasing within quantum memories in atomic vapours.

Room temperature atomic frequency comb storage for light

Published in Optics Letters, 2021

This paper demonstrates coherent storage and retrieval of pulsed light using the atomic frequency comb quantum memory protocol in a room temperature alkali vapour.
