Single-photon sources as new quantum standards

    Project: EU project

    Project Details

    Description

    Improving single-photon sources to accelerate quantum technology innovation.
     
    Single-photon sources are necessary in several fields of quantum technologies: quantum metrology, quantum communications, quantum computing, etc.
     
    Project develops new absolute standard radiation sources based on single-photon emitters and the necessary metrological infrastructure.
     
    VTT MIKES develops pulsed excitation lasers for single-photon emitters and customised optical excitation schemes for single-photon sources.
