Fast, noise-free memory for photon synchronization at room temperature (1 of 1)

Caption

A new way to store photons: light is coherntly converted into atomic excitaitons, where the electron is found at different orbits, stored, and then read back out. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Jan. 12, January 2018, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by Ran Finkelstein at Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, and colleagues was titled, "Fast, noise-free memory for photon synchronization at room temperature."
