- Additional information
- The output describes transmitter technology, which underpins quantum secure communications required within integrated quantum photonics platforms. This work initiated the development of an integrated node with on-chip waveguide integrated detectors for the QComm Quantum Technology Hub as part of The UK’s Quantum Technology Hub (EP/M01326X/1, https://gow.epsrc.ukri.org/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/M01326X/1, £23m) through a partnership with BT. This research also underpins the development of the UKQNtel Quantum Network and was included as part of the QComm Phase2 Hub Award (EP/T001011/1, https://gow.epsrc.ukri.org/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/T001011/1, £24M 2019-2024). The technology has subsequently been commercialized by the Bristol startup KETS (https://kets-quantum.com/).
