• Abstract: Quantum memories, devices that can store and retrieve photonic quantum states on demand, are essential components for scalable quantum technologies. It is desirable to push the memory towards the broadband regime in order to increase the data rate. Here, we present a theoretical and experimental study on the broadband optical memory based on electromagnetically-induced-transparency (EIT) protocol. We first provide a theoretical analysis on the issues and requirements to achieve a broadband EIT memory. We then present our experimental efforts on EIT memory in cold atoms towards the broadband or short-pulse regime. A storage efficiency of ~ 80 % with a pulse duration of 30 ns (corresponding to a bandwidth of 14.7 MHz) is realized. Limited by the available intensity of the control beam, we could not conduct an optimal storage for the even shorter pulses but still obtain an efficiency of larger than 50 % with a pulse duration of 14 ns (31.4 MHz). The achieved time-bandwidth-product at the efficiency of 50 % is 1267.
