Abstract
Efficient optical quantum memories are a milestone required for several quantum technologies, including repeater-based quantum key distribution and on-demand multiphoton generation. We present an efficiency optimization of an optical electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) memory experiment in a warm cesium vapor using a genetic algorithm and analyze the resulting wave forms. The control pulse is represented either as a Gaussian or free-form pulse and the results from the optimization are compared. We see an improvement factor of 3(7)% when using optimized free-form pulses. By limiting the allowed pulse energy in a solution, we show an energy-based optimization giving a 30% reduction in energy, with minimal efficiency loss.
