Project description
The photonic quantum computing platform of the future
Optical quantum computers are a ground-breaking innovation with immense benefits for future computing, enabling faster and more complex computations, as well as increased efficiency. The EU-funded sepoqc project will develop a cutting edge, full-stack photonic quantum computing platform named MOSAIQ. This platform incorporates several previous technologies, including PROMETHEUS, a semiconductor-based technology capable of producing qubits crucial to MOSAIQ that are based on single photons. Additionally, the open-source tool PERCEVAL is integrated to improve control and simulation of hardware and algorithm layers. These innovations allow for MOSAIQ to be both adaptable and scalable to future needs, making it a highly promising quantum computing platform.
Objective
The photon, being chargeless and massless, is the ideal qubit material since it is the only elementary particle with no decoherence. Based on over 25 years of research at the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (C2N, CNRS and Univ. of Paris Saclay), we demonstrated the world's first efficient emission of single photons powered by our unique semiconductor-based technology (Nature Photonics, 2016). In just a few years, we completed the design and construction of PROMETHEUS which integrates all the necessary components to deterministically generate qubits based on single photons. PROMETHEUS is the main building block for MOSAIQ, our full-stack photonic quantum computing platform, integrating all the building blocks from PROMETHEUS, to the photonic chips, efficient detectors and all the software stack, including open-source PERCEVAL, to control and simulate hardware and algorithm layer. MOSAIQ is designed and built to be modular, reconfigurable, interconnected and therefore scalable.
