Nearly 30 years ago, two-photon interference was observed, marking the beginning of a
new quantum era. Indeed, two-photon interference has no classical analogue, giving it a …

Multiphoton interference reveals strictly nonclassical phenomena. Its applications range
from fundamental tests of quantum mechanics to photonic quantum information processing …

During the past decade the interaction of light with multiatom ensembles has attracted much
attention as a basic building block for quantum information processing and quantum state …

An optical quantum memory can be broadly defined as a system capable of storing a
quantum state through interaction with light at optical frequencies. During the last decade …

Quantum communication is a method that offers efficient and secure ways for the exchange
of information in a network. Large-scale quantum communication,,,(of the order of 100 km) …

Scalable quantum-information processing requires the capability of storing quantum states,.
In particular, a long-lived storable and retrievable quantum memory for single excitations is …
