Advanced quantum photonics measurements in support of standards for next generation telecommunication technologies
FY 2020-21 · 2021-03-31
Summary
Single and entangled photon emitters as well as single-photon detectors are critical to quantum cyber-security, communication and information processing technologies. The long-term objective of the Project is the direct measurement of the optical power emitted from an NRC nanowire quantum dot single-photon source at the primary level, with an absolute planar bolometric radiometer (PBR) sensor, giving an SI-traceable optical power measurement of photons from an on-demand single-photon source. To facilitate the optimization of the measurement system, a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD) will be designed and fabricated for incorporation into the measurement apparatus. The Project supports the development of first generation quantum sources and detectors for future telecommunication standards.

Description (French)
Les émetteurs de photons uniques et intriqués ainsi que les détecteurs de photons uniques sont essentiels pour les technologies quantiques de cybersécurité, de communication et de traitement de l’information. Le projet vise à long terme la mesure directe de la puissance optique émise par une source de photons uniques à nanofils au niveau primaire, à l’aide d’un capteur absolu de radiomètre bolométrique planaire. Cela permettra ainsi une mesure de la puissance optique traçable au Système international d’unités (SI) des photons d’une source de photons uniques. Pour faciliter l’optimisation du système de mesure, un détecteur de photons uniques utilisant des nanofils supraconducteurs (SNSPD) sera conçu et fabriqué pour être intégré à l’appareil de mesure. Le projet soutient la mise au point de sources et de détecteurs quantiques de première génération pour les prochaines normes de télécommunication.
Expected Results
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems.
Expected Results (French)
À court terme, les résultats prévus seront des collaborations renforcées entre l'industrie, le milieu universitaire et le gouvernement pour soutenir l'excellence en recherche. À moyen terme, les résultats attendus seront le développement de nouvelles technologies potentiellement perturbatrices avec des collaborateurs. À long terme, trouver des solutions collaboratives aux défis des politiques publiques et créer des systèmes d'innovation plus solides.
