Large-scale quantum networks based on the synchronized transfer of single photons require efficient light-matter interfaces which can generate and store photons deterministically. In this regard, the small mode volume of fiber-based Fabry-Pérot cavities offers strong light-matter coupling with high-bandwidth. In our experiment a single rubidium atom is coupled to the cavity. Using a cavity-assisted Raman process we recently demonstrated the storage of short light pulses in such a coupled atom-cavity system [1]. The successful storage of a weak coherent wave packet with a full width at half maximum of 5 ns encourages hybrid experiments with semiconductor quantum dots as a single photon source.

We numerically compute the expected storage efficiency for weak coherent and single photon pulses by means of a numerical simulation that takes into account our system parameters as well as a typical pulse shape of quantum dot photons. The optimal control pulse is found from a numerical optimisation based on simulating the system dynamics via the Lindblad master equation.
