- Abstract summary: We present a mechanism and optimal procedures for mapping the quantum state of photons onto an optically inaccessible macroscopic state of noble-gas spins.
We derive the equations of motion for storage and retrieval of non-classical light and design optimal control strategies.
We conclude with proposals of practical experimental configurations of the memory, with lifetimes ranging from seconds to hours.

- Abstract: In Ref. [Katz et al., arXiv:2007.08770 (2020)], we present a mechanism and
optimal procedures for mapping the quantum state of photons onto an optically
inaccessible macroscopic state of noble-gas spins, which functions as a quantum
memory. Here we introduce and analyze a detailed model of the memory operation.
We derive the equations of motion for storage and retrieval of non-classical
light and design optimal control strategies. The detailed model accounts for
quantum noise and for thermal atomic motion, including the effects of optical
mode structure and imperfect anti-relaxation wall coating. We conclude with
proposals of practical experimental configurations of the memory, with
lifetimes ranging from seconds to hours.

Entanglement in high-dimensional quantum systems, where one or more degrees of freedom of light are involved, offers increased information capacities and enables new quantum protocols.

We generate highly entangled photon pairs at telecom wavelength that we characterise via two-photon interference and quantum state tomography, achieving near-unity visibilities and fidelities.
