A crucial component of future quantum network technologies are quantum memories, in which single photons are stored and read-out. Single photons generated in quantum dots provide on-demand emission and a high photon indistinguishability. The broadband capabilities and room temperature operation of quantum memory schemes in alkali vapour cells are a suitable storage medium. By tuning quantum dot photons to a 'transparency window' between the hyperfine lines we have realized a temperature dependent time delay. In a next step we want to employ an EIT/Autler-Townes scheme to achieve optical control on the single photon propagation. An important aspect for storing single photons is excellent control over the read/write pulses, optical pumping and the manufacturing of optimized vapour cells.
