Quantum memories are a key tool for optical quantum information processing. Several physical implementations have been suggested. Photonic nano- and microstructures can significantly improve light matter interaction and in this way facilitate efficient photon storage. In this presentation we will introduce a photonics light cage as an engineered photonic structure to improve the performance of quantum memories based on warm atomic (Cs) vapor. Based on first results we derive the improved storage parameters of such a device and discuss prospect for integration into quantum networks.
