- Abstract summary: We demonstrate a multiplexed random-access memory to store up to four optical pulses using electromagnetically induced transparency in warm cesium vapor.
Using a Lambda-System on the hyperfine transitions of the Cs D1 line, we achieve a mean internal storage efficiency of 36% and a 1/e lifetime of 3.2 mus.

- Abstract: The ability to store large amounts of photonic quantum states is regarded as
substantial for future optical quantum computation and communication
technologies. However, research for multiplexed quantum memories has been
focused on systems that show good performance only after an elaborate
preparation of the storage media. This makes it generally more difficult to
apply outside a laboratory environment. In this work, we demonstrate a
multiplexed random-access memory to store up to four optical pulses using
electromagnetically induced transparency in warm cesium vapor. Using a
{\Lambda}-System on the hyperfine transitions of the Cs D1 line, we achieve a
mean internal storage efficiency of 36% and a 1/e lifetime of 3.2 {\mu}s. In
combination with future improvements, this work facilitates the implementation
of multiplexed memories in future quantum communication and computation
infrastructures.
