Abstract :
Summary form only given. We describe a technique that allows one to transfer quantum correlations from traveling-wave light fields to collective atomic states and vice versa with nearly ideal efficiency. This is achieved by adiabatically reducing the group velocity of light to zero, thereby "trapping" the photons in the medium.
