Integration of quantum light sources, circuits and superconducting detectors on nanophotonic chips

presented by invited speaker Professor Carsten Schuck, Munster University at the 2023 edition of this conference.

The vision of his reseach is centered around a versatile quantum technology platform on silicon chips that allows for realizing applications in quantum communication, quantum information processing and quantum sensing. We pursue this goal by leveraging modern nanofabrication capabilities for integrating quantum emitters and superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPD) with reconfigurable nanophotonic circuits.
