Semiconductor quantum dots are excellent single-photon sources, providing triggered single-photon emission at a high rate and with high spectral purity [1]. Independently, atomic ensembles have emerged as one of the best quantum memories for single photons, providing high efficiency storage and long memory lifetimes [2]. In this project, we combine these two physical systems to exploit the best features from both worlds. On the one hand, we have characterized a new type of self-assembled GaAs/AlGaAs quantum dots that emit narrowband (Δv = 500 MHz) single-photons at a wavelength compatible with Rb atoms. Fine tuning of the photon frequency is achieved via strain. This allows us to perform spectroscopy of the Rb D2-line at the single-photon level, proving that we can address the different hyperfine transitions. On the other hand, we have developed a detailed theory of an EIT-based memory scheme in a dense ultracold ensemble of 87Rb atoms (OD>150) that achieves storage-and-retrieval efficiency exceeding 28% [3].
