Abstract
Coherent light-matter interactions provide powerful tools to control optical properties in quantum systems, e.g. aiming at efficient methods for optical data storage and quantum information processing. The latter rapidly developing field and applications therein require optical (quantum) memories as a key component. The talk presents implementations of coherent optical interactions in particular solids, i.e. rare-earth doped crystals. These “atom-like” solid media combine the advantages of gases (i.e. spectrally narrow transitions and long decoherence times) and solids (i.e. large storage density and scalability).
