Integrated devices and high-dimensional photonic systems for quantum technologies

Quantum technologies promise a change of paradigm for many fields of application, for example in communication systems, in high-performance computing and simulation of quantum systems, as well as in sensor technology. However, the experimental realization of suitable system still poses considerable challenges. Current efforts in photonic quantum target the implementation of practical and scalable systems, where the realization of controlled quantum network structures is key for many applications.

Quantum Key Distribution with Integrated Photonics

Quantum computing’s rapid advancement threatens current cryptography, which relies on complex problems solvable by quantum computers. This necessitates the development of “quantum-safe” technologies for future network protection. Today’s data is also at risk from “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks, where encrypted messages are stored for decryption once quantum processors are available. This is especially concerning for long-term valuable information like financial records and medical data.

Single solid-state quantum emitter photonics for on-chip quantum information

Single solid-state quantum emitters have demonstrated considerable potential for the implementation of important quantum photonic devices such as on-demand single-photon sources or deterministic quantum logic gates. Converting a bare quantum emitter into a device with sufficient performance for use in quantum photonic systems requires an efficient, high cooperativity interface to accessing optical fields.
