We report an experiment in which an optical vortex is stored in a vapor of Rb atoms.
Because of its 2 π phase twist, this mode, also known as the Laguerre-Gauss mode, is …

We report on the experimental realization of the storage of images in a hot vapor of
Rubidium atoms. The images are stored in and retrieved from the long-lived ground state …

We report on an experiment in which orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light is mapped at
the single-photon level into and out of a cold atomic ensemble. Based on the dynamic …

We consider transfer of optical vortices between laser pulses carrying orbital angular
momentum in a cloud of cold atoms characterized by the Λ configuration of the atom-light …

The full structuration of light in the transverse plane, including intensity, phase and
polarization, holds the promise of unprecedented capabilities for applications in classical …

We report an experimental method to create optical lattices with real-time control of their
periodicity. We demonstrate a continuous change of the lattice periodicity from 0.96 μm to …

We theoretically explore the transfer of vortex states between atomic Bose-Einstein
condensates and optical pulses using ultraslow and stopped light techniques. We find …

Reversible and coherent storage of light in an atomic medium is a promising method with
possible applications in many fields. In this work, arbitrary two-dimensional images are …

We experimentally demonstrate electromagnetically induced transparency and light storage
with ultracold Rb 87 atoms in a Mott insulating state in a three-dimensional optical lattice …

We report an experimental realization of an atomic vapor quantum memory for the photonic
polarization qubit. The performance of the quantum memory for the polarization qubit …
