Fraunhofer IZM has been harnessing innovative techniques for photonic system integration and miniaturization to tackle the challenges posed by quantum technologies (QT) and seize their enormous potential to overcome the inherent limitations of current technology. The ambition is to make the leap from highly complicated, sensitive, and power-hungry custom laboratory systems to devices that are easy and cheap to produce and reliable for use in the real world.
Progress has been particularly fast in quantum communication, where qubits are carried by individual photons. Today’s telecommunications industry already has the infrastructure, processes, and technical means to manage and transfer these photons. Quantum sensing and computing, on the other hand, depend on interactions between photons and atoms, ions, molecules, or other atom-level systems like nitrogen-vacancy centres.
