The objective of the Quantum Photonics Laboratory at CIO is to design and implement quantum photonic circuits integrated on chips of silice for applications in quantum information and computation. The main research projects in the laboratory are:
- Development of integrated quantum light sources with optimized properties, based on spontaneous parametric processes produced in optical materials such as nonlinear crystals, waveguides or optical fibers for applications in quantum information protocols.
- Development of quantum photonic circuits on silice chips with an architecture of integrated optics.
