Multiplexing of quantum memories would enable higher communication rate for repeater based quantum networks. Here, the authors demonstrate multiplexed storage of single-photon-level pulses using multiple degree-of-freedom, with the additional function of arbitrary manipulation of photonic pulses in real time.
