The interaction between orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light and atoms can be used to store and retrieve high-dimensional information and hence has been proposed as an efficient way for quantum information networks. The authors present a scheme to store photons with a large OAM by implementing classical write and read pulses in higher OAM states.
