本論文在冷銣原子系統中，實現基於電磁波引發透明的單光子儲存。我們建立一暗區自發力光井，可捕捉約2 × 108 顆冷銣原子，其光學密度可達20。在光儲存實驗中，我們將探測光與耦合光的夾角縮小至0.3度，並且將原子居量準備於單一賽曼態(Zeeman State)中，可使此量子記憶體的儲存時間達0.14 ms。

We demonstrated electromagnetically-induced-transparency-based light storage at the single-photon level using cold 87Rb atoms. Around 2 × 108 cold atoms with an optical depth of 20 were trapped in a dark spontaneous-force optical trap. The storage time was improved to 0.14 ms by reducing the angle between probe laser and coupling laser to 0.3 degree and preparing the atoms into a single Zeeman state .
