The ability to transfer entanglement over large distance is a main requirement for quantum networks. Another fundamental ingredient is the storage of such a quantum state in a quantum memory. To this end a useful resource is a photon pair for which one photon is resonant with the memory while its partner is at a low-loss telecommunication wavelength. We recently presented a photon pair source, compatible...
