We have considered theoretically the feasibility of the broadband quantum memory based on the resonant tripod-type atomic configuration. In this case, the writing of a signal field is carried out simultaneously into two channels, and characterized by an excitation of two spin waves of the atomic ensemble. With simultaneous read out from both channels quantum properties of the original signal are mapped on the retrieval pulse no worse than in the case of memory based on Lambda-type atomic…

Experimental demonstration of spinor slow light
TLDR
This study experimentally demonstrated a possible application of the double-tripod scheme as quantum memory/rotator for the two-colour qubit and suggests that the spinor slow light is a better method than a widely used scheme in the nonlinear frequency conversion.
