TL;DR: Some of the emerging applications of quantum memories in optical signal processing, quantum computation and non-linear optics are outlined.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the optical phonon modes of bulk diamond at room temperature and demonstrated a terahertz-bandwidth quantum memory based on transient ultrafast Raman scattering from the phonons.

TL;DR: The ability of quantum memories to synchronize probabilistic events makes them a key component in quantum repeaters and quantum computation based on linear optics and has motivated many groups to dedicate theoretical and experimental research to develop quantum memory devices as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: This work introduces a quantum random number generator based on the phase measurement of Stokes light generated by amplification of zero-point vacuum fluctuations using stimulated Raman scattering, using optical phonons in bulk diamond.

TL;DR: By actively filtering photons to a nearly single mode, quantum communication can occur in environments that are noisier by three orders of magnitude than what traditional methods tolerate, which could bring quantum communication under realistic conditions a step closer to reality.
