Abstract :
We report an experimental realization of an atomic vapor quantum memory for the photonic polarization qubit. The quantum memory is realized by means of electromagnetically-induced transparency in two spatially separated ensembles of warm Rubidium atoms in a single vapor cell. We have fully characterized the memory with quantum process tomography.
