Electromagnetically induced transparency allows for controllable change of absorption properties which can be exploited in a number of applications including optical quantum memory. In this paper, we present a study of the electromagnetically induced transparency in $^{167}$Er:$^6$LiYF$_4$ crystal at low magnetic fields and ultra-low temperatures. Experimental measurement scheme employs optical vector network analysis which provides high precision measurement of amplitude, phase and pulse delay. We found that sub-Kelvin temperatures are the necessary requirement for studying electromagnetically induced transparency in this crystal at low fields. A good agreement between theory and experiment is achieved taking into account the phonon bottleneck effect.

We explore spin dynamics of isotopically purified $^{166}$Er:$^{7}$LiYF$_4$ crystal below 1 Kelvin and at weak magnetic fields $<$0.3 T. Crystals grown in our lab demonstrate record-narrow inhomogeneous optical broadening down to 16~MHz. Solid state
atomic ensembles with such narrow linewidths are very attractive for the implementation of off-resonant Raman quantum memory and for the interfacing of superconducting quantum circuits and telecom C-band optical photons. Both applications require low magnetic field of $sim10$ mT. However, at conventional experimental temperatures $T>1.5$ K and time scales of $mu$s, spin coherence of Er:LYF crystal appears only at magnetic fields above 1 Tesla. In the present work, we demonstrate spin coherence of Er:LYF crystals at the field range compatible with ZEFOZ transitions of $^{167}$Er isotope and with working conditions of superconducting quantum circuits.
Er:YSO crystal is promising candidate with great variety of its potential applications in quantum information processing and quantum communications ranging from optical/microwave quantum memories to circuit QED and microwave-to-optics frequency conve
rters. Some of the above listed applications require ultra-low temperature environment, i.e. temperatures $Tlesssim0.1~$K. Most of the experiments with erbium doped crystals have been so far carried out at temperatures above 1.5 K. Therefore, only little information is known about Er:YSO coherence properties at millikelvins. Here, we investigate optical decoherence of $^{167}$Er:Y$_2$SiO$_5$ crystal by performing 2- and 3-pulse echo experiments at sub-Kelvin temperature range and at weak and moderate magnetic fields. We show that the deep freezing of the crystal results in an increase of optical coherence time by one order of magnitude below 1.5 Kelvin at the field of $sim$0.2 T. We further describe the detailed investigation of the decoherence mechanisms in this regime.
Here we present a microscopic model that describes the Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT) phenomenon in the multiple scattering regime. We consider an ensembles of cold three-level atoms, in a $Lambda$ configuration, scattering a probe an
d a control field to the vacuum modes of the electromagnetic field. By first considering a scalar description of the scattering, we show that the light-mediated long-range interactions that emerge between the dipoles narrow the EIT transparency window for increasing densities and sample sizes. For a vectorial description, we demonstrate that near-field interacting terms can critically affect the atomic population transfer in the Stimulated Raman Adiabatic Passage (STIRAP). This result points out that standard STIRAP-based quantum memories in dense and cold atomic ensembles would not reach efficiency high enough for quantum information processing applications.
We show that an alkali atom with a tripod electronic structure can yield rich electromagnetically induced transparency phenomena even at room temperature. In particular we introduce double-double electromagnetically induced transparency wherein signa
l and probe fields each have two transparency windows. Their group velocities can be matched in either the first or second pair of transparency windows. Moreover signal and probe fields can each experience coherent gain in the second transparency windows. We explain using a semi-classical-dressed-picture to connect the tripod electronic structure to a double-Lambda scheme.
We theoretically investigate a double-{Lambda} electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) system. The property of the double-{Lambda} medium with a closed-loop configuration depends on the relative phase of the applied laser fields. This phase-de
pendent mechanism differentiates the double-{Lambda} medium from the conventional Kerr-based nonlinear medium, e.g., EIT-based nonlinear medium discussed by Harris and Hau [Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 4611 (1999)], which depends only on the intensities of the applied laser fields. Steady-state analytical solutions for the phase-dependent system are obtained by solving the Maxwell-Bloch equations. In addition, we discuss efficient all-optical phase modulation and coherent light amplification based on the proposed double-{Lambda} EIT scheme.
