Quantum scalable networks for secure communication, advanced sensing and distributed quantum computing require a robust eco-system of optical and photonic building blocks at the physical layer to assemble distributed and scalable quantum interconnect networks. To allow the distribution and processing of qubits in the form of entangled photons and single p...

Market deployment of integrated photonics is currently very limited due to its high development costs, expertise and time required to create a product and take it to market. Wave Photonics (WP) is a platform based on a core computational design technology that enables designers to take products from ideas to reality using pre-designed, adaptable component...

Project SiNQ will investigate the hardware requirements for quantum computing technologies to meet challenging applications in drug design and material development. Quantum Computing will revolutionise these applications and Oxford Ionics is looking to develop novel quantum computers based on high-performance trapped-ion technology. The challenge is to de...

We propose an intense training course to reskill professionals in the growing Photonics Integrated Circuit (PIC) technology sector. Three companies and two universities have teamed up to develop a hands-on course covering the entire PIC creation process, including design, fabrication, testing, and packaging, using industry tools and standards. The course ...

Quantum Photonic Integrated Circuits (QPICs), similarly to their classical counterparts Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs), are a technology that takes advantage of the decades of development in semiconductor processing for the integrated electronics to create chip-based circuits for light that can be cost-effectively mass produced. QPICs are at the cent...

Integrated quantum photonics offers a scalable platform for many emerging quantum technologies, such as quantum communications and quantum computing. Critical to its success is the development of tools used for the optimisation of fabrication tolerant components which can enhance the control of quantum states on chip and mitigate errors leading to high ph...

Quantum key distribution (QKD) provides a means to exchange information with total privacy, where the security the key generation is guaranteed by the laws of quantum mechanics. This quantum-safe cryptography is future-proof, even to a quantum computer. Within this framework, however, there are subtleties in the operation of the devices and components use...
