Abstract
This chapter is dedicated to the presentation of the second experiment, where we made progress on the implementation of the read step of our memory protocol. Multiple few-photons microwave pulses initially stored in the spin ensemble are retrieved by applying refocusing techniques. An active reset of the spins by optical repumping is also implemented.

Notes
- 1.
Note that we did not consider an eventual gap between the diamond and the circuit for the calculation.
- 2.
We will determine Q with better accuracy later in this manuscript.
- 3.
The sign \({}^*\) is not physical but accounts for a difference of sign convention between theory and the vector network analyzer (see Sect. 2.1.1.2).
- 4.
\(p_{eq}=0.9\times 0.16\times 0.967\).
- 5.
\(p=0.9\times 0.83\times 0.964\).
- 6.
Further simulations have shown that this approximation is well justified.
