Project QUDITS2 is an industrial research project developing a hardware demonstrator platform to showcase the viabilty of developing quantum communication systems using qudits, based on orbital angular momentum (OAM). Following on from the successful Innovate UK funded QUDITS feasibilty study, the consortiu will develop a demonstrator using commercially a...

High fidelity, modular and scalable receiver modules are recognised as the enabling technology for entangled based quantum key distribution, which is essential for distributed quantum computing and the transmission of quantum states in quantum internet. To address this need, the MARCONI project will develop and demonstrate two new OEM quantum key distribu...

Every year, the amount of data transferred across optical fibre networks to people's homes increases, with millions of 10Gb/s Passive Optical Network (10G-PON) units sold every year to support this. However, there is a need to roll out 50G-PON to enable smart factory and digital driven manufacturing, next-generation city traffic management, and 10G smart ...

Skills shortages across the semiconductor industry present challenges to the UK semiconductor industry in myriad ways, ranging from hindering expansion, through reducing competitiveness, to discouraging funding for innovative startups. Although semiconductor theory is covered in most UK Electronic Engineering (EE) or Physics degree courses, most graduates...

LIDAR (light detection and ranging) is the technique used by modern vehicles to visualise their surroundings in 3D. Early long range LIDAR systems for AVs and advanced-driver-assisted-systems (ADAS) being brought to market in 2022, rely on raster scanning techniques to build an image 1 pixel at a time. These early systems are very bulky, have range limita...

To address climate change, attention on greenhouse gases has recently expanded from an overwhelming focus on carbon dioxide to include methane. Methane is the second most important greenhouse gas, because for 20 years after release, it is 84 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Methane is a major constituent of natural gas, which has experienced increas...

Project QUDITS is a feasibility study which aims to develop a demonstrator platform to showcase the feasibility of developing quantum communication systems using qudits based on orbital angular momentum (OAM). By using using commercially available novel photonics technologies from the UK supply chain, photonic crystal surface-emitting lasers (PCSELs) and ...
