Title: High dimensional quantum Photonic Platform
Duration: 01/04/2018 - 30/03/2021
Principal Investigator: Pascale Senellart (CNRS, France)

Project Annotation: Develop near-optimal single-photon sources based on semiconductor quantum dots, and couple them to highly reconfigurable 3D photonic glass chips to implement multi-photon multi-mode quantum walks. As a first benchmark, we will demonstrate quantum advantage (or supremacy) through high photon-number Boson sampling measurements. The platform will then be used to demonstrate secure quantum computation (homomorphic encryption) and quantum communication (quantum enigma machine) tasks on chip. A new advanced metrology task will be proposed and demonstrated, with simultaneous multi-parameter estimation.
