Warm vapor quantum memories have seen significant progress in terms of efficiency and storage time in recent years. Their low complexity makes them a promising candidate for operation in non-lab environments including space-based applications. As a necessary element of quantum repeaters, memories operating in space could advance global quantum communication networks [1].
We will present the implementation and performance of a portable rack-mounted stand alone system, that includes also the laser system and control electronics. The optical memory is based on long-lived hyperfine ground states of Cesium which are connected to an excited state via the D1 line at 895 nm in a lambda-configuration. The stability of the memory efficiency and fidelity is demonstrated at single photon level. Different methods to micro integrate this platform are also being investigated.
