On-chip single-photon sources for quantum information technology applications
Research Group:
Quantum, Light & Matter
Dr L Sapienza
Application Deadline:
31 August 2019
Non-classical optical sources emitting single photons are required for applications in quantum information science. Quantum cryptography, for instance, exploits the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics to provide unconditional security for communication.
