Abstract

We show the implementation of the most fundamental quantum memory by mapping arbitrary polarization states of light into and out of a single atom trapped inside an optical cavity. The memory performance is analyzed through full quantum process tomography. The average fidelity is measured to be 93% and low decoherence rates result in storage times exceeding 180µs.
