Towards a quantum internet based on erbium implanted silicon photonics

主講人 : Prof. Mark Hughes

The transfer of quantum information over distance using optical fibre networks has applications in secure quantum communication and distributed quantum computing, but in order to overcome photon loss from fibre attenuation, quantum repeaters are required. Many quantum repeater protocols require a quantum memory. The properties of Er implanted Si make it ideal for fabricating quantum memory devices. Here I will lay out my vison for an ecosystem of quantum communication devices  d on Er:Si that will be able to facilitate secure quantum communication and distributed quantum computing.
