CEA-Leti to Build Quantum Photonics Platform

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
CEA-Leti announced plans to build a quantum photonics platform to develop technologies for industries requiring ultrasecure data transmission. The project is funded by Carnot, a French multidisciplinary network. The three-year project aims to develop silicon photonics circuits capable of generating and manipulating single photons with linear optical components such as slow and rapid phase shifters, and detect them with superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors. CEA-Leti has previously demonstrated entangled photon pairs on its silicon photonics platform, as well as other...Read full article

    quantum
    The term quantum refers to the fundamental unit or discrete amount of a physical quantity involved in interactions at the atomic and subatomic scales. It originates from quantum theory, a branch of physics that emerged in the early 20th century to explain phenomena observed on very small scales, where classical physics fails to provide accurate explanations. In the context of quantum theory, several key concepts are associated with the term quantum: Quantum mechanics: This is the branch of...
