How Integrated Quantum Photonics Could Transform Technology

Image credit: AG Schuck. By Dr. Karen Steward When Prof. Carsten Schuck talks about quantum technology, he doesn’t start with abstract equations or distant theoretical ideas. Instead, he describes something surprisingly tangible: chips. Not the kind in your phone, at least not yet, but silicon-based platforms capable of generating, manipulating and detecting individual particles of light. These tiny devices, he argues, could redefine how we communicate, sense the world and process information...

From Quantum Breakthrough to Business Reality

Image credit: Markus Distelrath from Pixabay. By Dr. Karen Steward Quantum technologies have long promised to revolutionise computing, sensing and secure communications. But between a breakthrough in the lab and a product in the marketplace lies a complex, often misunderstood journey. In his lecture, “The Pathway to Commercial Implementation of Quantum Technologies,” Paul Ceely , from Digital Catapult , unpacked what it really takes to move quantum technologies from scientific achievement to...

From Lasers to Lab-on-a-Chip: How Integrated Photonics Is Quietly Rewiring Technology

If you took apart your smartphone, you would find astonishing layers of electronic sophistication. But what you would not obviously see (yet) is light. That, says Dr. Sylwester Latkowski of Eindhoven University of Technology and Scientific Director of the Photonic Integration Technology Center (PITC) , is about to change.
