Quantum memories will play a central part in synchronizing operational events in quantum networks, e.g. joint measurements between photons from different sources in order to implement entanglement swapping in quantum repeater protocols [1].

Here, we interface quantum light sources with an electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) system, in principle suitable for quantum memory. First, we demonstrate precise strain-tuning of InGaAs quantum dot emission between the two 1.2 GHz hyperfine-split levels in the Cesium D1 transitions. Proceeding from this we explore the potential of EIT for variable delays for single photons [2]. In addition to application in synchronization of heralded single photon sources, these experiments lay the ground for atomic vapor-based quantum memories in hybrid quantum networks [3].
