Deskripsi
The state of a single photon can be stored as a Rydberg excitation using electromagnetically induced transparency, and this enables nonlinear interactions at the single-photon level. Here, the authors store a paired photon emitted by a quantum memory in an ensemble-based, highly nonlinear medium.
