Storing quantum information in material systems, i.e. in quantum memories (QM), is a key requirement for quantum information tasks in which probabilistic events have to be synchronized. Among the first applications of QMs is to extend the distance over which a quantum entangled state could be shared as nodes in a quantum repeater. In this work we compare performances of space-based quantum communication architectures without and with the help of QMs and quantify advantages that are brought by QMs.
Another potential use of space-based QMs is to store quantum information in curved space-times for extended period of times. In this context, we discuss novel experiments that would be enabled by QMs to probe general relativistic proper time in quantum mechanics.
