Descrizione del progetto
Costruire una solida rete di ricerca per la fotonica quantistica integrata
Finanziato nell’ambito del programma di azioni Marie Skłodowska-Curie, il progetto AppQInfo formerà ricercatori in fase iniziale di carriera nella fotonica quantistica integrata allo stato dell’arte, una delle cinque tecnologie abilitanti fondamentali per l’Europa. Utilizzando circuiti fotonici integrati per controllare gli stati quantistici fotonici, la fotonica integrata consente la generazione, la manipolazione e la lettura di stati quantistici fotonici in modo altamente controllato aumentando notevolmente la velocità e l’efficienza di calcolo rispetto ai circuiti elettronici. I giovani ricercatori lavoreranno a 15 progetti interdisciplinari che si concentreranno sullo sviluppo di comunicazioni quantistiche a lunga distanza fattibili dalle reti su scala urbana ai sistemi satellitari; sullo studio delle proprietà di trasporto quantistico e le trasformate quantistiche di Fourier in circuiti fotonici; sulla costruzione di reti neurali artificiali completamente ottiche e sulla loro applicazione a simulazioni quantistiche, nonché sullo sviluppo di sorgenti e rivelatori di stati quantistici multifotone e porte logiche polaritoniche.
Obiettivo
AppQInfo will provide a world class training in photonic Quantum Information Processing (pQIP), and prepare an excellent cohort of Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) to become the future R&D staff of Europe’s emerging markets in this area. Quantum Information Processing (QIP) is a key ingredient in Europe’s future Quantum Communication Infrastructure; it underpins quantum communications and quantum simulations, the first two pillars of the H2020 Quantum Flagship. QIP will revolutionise information technology, providing higher quality, speed and unconditional security, not possible with classical technologies. AppQInfo focusses on QIP in state-of-the-art integrated photonics, one of five Key Enabling Technologies for European Industry. Integrated photonics permits the creation, manipulation and readout of photonic quantum states in a highly controlled manner, with high speeds and low losses. The broad objectives of AppQInfo are: to create an excellent training of ESRs in the field of pQIP that is both interdisciplinary and intersectoral; to develop innovative, entrepreneurial ESRs with great career prospects; to maximise the exploitation and dissemination of our research; to engage the public through several outreach activities; to consolidate a wide expertise in the field of pQIP; to create a long-lasting collaboration network of top-class research units and industrial entities. Together, our 15 interdisciplinary research projects will work towards feasible long-distance quantum communications from urban-scale networks to satellite-based systems using various data encoding; study quantum photonic circuits towards their quantum transport properties and quantum transforms they implement; exploit these platforms for machine learning applications, such as building all-optical artificial neural networks, and applying them for quantum simulations; develop enabling technologies of sources and detectors of multiphoton quantum states and polaritonic logic gates.
