The authors report an experiment demonstrating the storage of light pulses in a vapor of rubidium (Rb) atoms. By dynamically reducing the group velocity of the light pulse to zero, the coherent excitation of the light is reversibly mapped into a collective Zeeman (spin) coherence of the Rb vapor. This process allows the light pulse to be trapped, stored for a controlled period, and then released on demand. The technique is based on the phenomenon of ultra-slow light group velocity, achieved through Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT). The light-storage method is non-destructive, preserving the phase and quantum state of the signal pulse. The experiment achieved storage times up to approximately 0.5 ms, limited by the atomic coherence lifetime. The non-destructive nature of the technique makes it a promising candidate for applications involving coherent communication between distant quantum systems. The theoretical interpretation of the experimental results is provided, showing good agreement with the measurements.The authors report an experiment demonstrating the storage of light pulses in a vapor of rubidium (Rb) atoms.
