Slow and stored light via electromagnetically induced transparency using a Λ-type superconducting artificial atom by Kai-I Chu, Xiao-Cheng Lu, Kuan-Hsun Chiang, Yen-Hsiang Lin, Chii-Dong Chen, Ite A. Yu, Wen-Te Liao, Yung-Fu Chen

“…However, the lack of a metastable state in most superconducting artificial atoms hinders the development of photonic quantum memory in this platform. Here we use a single superconducting qubit-resonator system to realize a desired Λ-type artificial atom, and to demonstrate slow light with a group velocity of 3.6 km/s and the microwave storage with a memory time extending to several hundred nanoseconds via electromagnetically induced transparency. …”
