Quantum Photonics Research Project
Introduction
The applications of photonic quantum technology include photonic-based quantum computation, quantum communication and quantum sensing. This project aims at developing critical materials and devices for applications in photonic quantum technology. The main focus includes: (1) Single-photon emitters (SPEs), (2) Single-photon detectors (SPDs) and (3) Room-temperature quantum photonic systems, which are the fundamental building blocks in photonic quantum technology.
