On-demand storage and retrieval of single photons in coherent light-matter interfaces is a key requirement for distributing quantum information. Here, we demonstrate storage of single photons from a semiconductor quantum dot device in a room-temperature atomic vapor memory and their on-demand retrieval [1]. A deterministically fabricated InGaAs quantum dot light source emits single photons at the cesium D1 transition wavelength (895 nm) with a linewidth of 5.1(7) GHz which are subsequently stored in a low-noise ladder-type cesium vapor memory. We show control over the interaction between the single photons and the atomic vapor, allowing for variable retrieval times of up to 19.8(3) ns and a maximum internal efficiency of ηint=0.6(1)%. This QD-memory interface provides an unprecedented level of control over the temporal mode of the single-photon emitter and represents a step towards heterogeneous platforms for quantum network nodes.
