Recent investigation [1] shows that a significant speed-up in intercontinental quantum key distribution is achievable by having quantum memories with on the order of 103 randomly accessible storage modes. We present our latest results on a spatially multiplexed warm vapor EIT memory [2] with the ability to scale beyond this number, while having modest technological requirements. In future, this will allow isolated deployment away from laboratory infrastructure and facilitate remote operation on satellites and similarly insular locations. To gain a deeper understanding of the challenges presented by integrating these memories into quantum networks, we are planning to interface them with single photons generated by spontaneous parametric down-conversion inside a monolithic cavity [3,4].
