Designing the hardware of the quantum internet: on-satellite quantum memories and novel quantum repeater architectures
FY 2022-23 · 2023-02-17
Summary
In this project we will design new components and architectures for the future quantum internet, which promises applications such as quantum-secured communication and distributed quantum computing. In particular, we will design quantum memories that are suitable for deployment on-board satellites, and we will design terrestrial quantum network architectures that are more suitable for widespread use than current approaches.

Description (French)
Ce projet vise à mettre au point de nouveaux éléments et de nouvelles architectures pour l’Internet quantique du futur, lequel promet des applications telles que la communication protégée par des méthodes quantiques et l’informatique quantique répartie. Il s’agira en particulier de concevoir des mémoires quantiques pouvant être déployées à bord de satellites, et des architectures de réseaux quantiques terrestres mieux adaptées que les approches actuelles à une utilisation généralisée.
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.
