    "abstract": "We present a universal physical picture for describing storage and retrieval\nof photon wave packets in a Lambda-type atomic medium. This physical picture\nencompasses a variety of different approaches to pulse storage ranging from\nadiabatic reduction of the photon group velocity and pulse-propagation control\nvia off-resonant Raman fields to photon-echo based techniques. Furthermore, we\nderive an optimal control strategy for storage and retrieval of a photon wave\npacket of any given shape. All these approaches, when optimized, yield\nidentical maximum efficiencies, which only depend on the optical depth of the\nmedium.",
