Summary on Grant Application Form |
Covesion Ltd and The University of Southampton plan a collaborative feasibility study to investigate the use of periodicallypoled
lithium niobate crystals in single-photon sources for applications exploiting quantum entanglement. Our crystals
enable the energy of a single photon to be split and conserved as two lower-energy photons at different colours; the laws of
physics state that if one of these photons is created then the other must also exist. In this project, we seek to reduce the
manufacturing tolerances required to generate indistinguisable photons between parallel sources and our objective is to
prove our new approach across multiple devices. This is an important step in enabling scalable quantum applications
where many indistinguishable photons are needed in parallel, such as quantum computing.
