Long distance quantum communications require the storage and on demand retrieval of qubits. A reliable light storage platform is using EIT to store light in the atomic coherence (spin waves). Combined with the potential of HCPCFs leads to enhanced light matter interaction and long-distance transport of quantum information. Furthermore, equipped with an optical conveyor belt, which can help transport the atomic ensembles, opens doors for realizing quantum registers by preparing a chain of atomic ensembles with stored photons.
We present our experiment of light storage and retrieval in an optical lattice. To this end we have successfully established storing in an optical lattice with storage times comparable to our transport times. The atomic ensemble is first loaded from a MOT and with the help of our optical conveyor belt transported into the hollow core fiber where we demonstrated successful storage of a light pulse. The storage has been optimized with the help of a circular polarized lattice along with a *magic* magnetic field and optical pumping to clock states. Subsequently, we aim to demonstrate light retrieval after transportation of the atomic ensemble through macroscopic distances.
