A quantum memory (QM) is a device with the ability to store the quantum state of an incoming light pulse and release it on-demand at a later time [3]. QM are required in several protocols in quantum communication, quantum computing and optics. In the context of long-range links, the main function of QMs is to synchronize otherwise probabilistic two (or more)-photon transfer and detection events in order to speed up protocols, such as quantum repeaters [4, 5] and deterministic creation of multiphoton states [6, 7].
