31.1 Introduction

Light–atoms quantum interface is an important component of a quantum network. Whereas light is a natural long‐distance information carrier, it is difficult to keep information encoded in light for an extended period of time due to decoherence associated with its propagation. In the best‐case scenario, light at an optimal telecom wavelength propagating in a fiber loses half of its photons in 100 µs. Longer storage ...
