Novel single photon sources for new generation of quantum communications
Abstract
The two main objectives of this project are: 1. Engineer a true, room temperature, single photon source at the telecom spectral range that will be used for practical quantum cryptography applications. 2. Identify new platforms for generating triggered single photon sources on demand. This ARC Linkage Project will bring together our expertise in engineering single photon sources at UTS with the photonics and quantum algorithm know-how of PI Luke Bissell at Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to deliver new generation of sources for quantum cryptography. It is expected that this initial collaboration will develop into a long-term alliance, given the persistent need for secure communication technologies, and the complementary capabilities of our organizations, particularly in engineering and characterizing diamond color centers. This proposal addresses an urgent need for transformational advances in science and technology that will enable the rapid advancement and cost-efficient exploitation of quantum technologies.
