We review protocols for atomic ensemble-based optical quantum memories and their experimental implementation. Our special focus is on quantum memories in rare-earth ions doped crystals with long optical and spin coherence lifetimes based on slow light and photon-echo. Current challenges and methods for obtaining high-performance quantum memory are outlined and critically analyzed. The strategies for improving optical quantum memory for application in optical quantum repeaters are discussed.

Keywords: optical quantum memory, two- and three-level atomic ensembles, optical and spin coherence, electromagnetically induced transparency, off-resonant Raman transition, Autler—Townes splitting, photon echo, crystals with rare earth ions, quantum repeater
