Quantum light source goes completely ‘on-chip’

Brings scalability to quantum cloud, say developers at Leibniz-Hannover, Twente, and QuiX Quantum..


Photonics

An international team of researchers from Leibniz University Hannover, Germany, the University of Twente, The Netherlands, and start-up company QuiX Quantum has developed an entangled quantum light source fully integrated on a chip – which they say is a first.

Their achievement is described in Nature Photonics.

“Our breakthrough enabled us to shrink the source size by a factor of more than 1,000, allowing reproducibility, stability over a longer time, scaling, and potentially mass-production,” said Prof. Dr. Michael Kues, head of the Institute of Photonics, and board member of the Cluster of Excellence PhoenixD at Leibniz University Hannover. “All these characteristics are required for real-world applications such as quantum processors.”
