Spins Interfaced Light Tender

Spins Interfaced With Light For Quantum Silicon Technologies
Bright Future For Silicon In Quantum Technologiesjust Like Crystals That Inherently Possess Imperfections, Silicon Has Also Many Point Defects. Recent Research Has Shown These Fluorescent Point Defects Could Be Optically Isolated And Emit In The Near-Infrared And In Telecom Bands Associated With Minimal Losses In Optical Fibres. The Eu-Funded Sileqs Project Aims To Control These Optically Active Defects And Develop Promising Candidates For Use In Quantum Computers, Combining The Benefits Of Electrical And Photonic Qubits. Researchers Will Seek To Demonstrate For The First Time Indistinguishable Single-Photon Emission From Individual Defects In Silicon And Control Over Their Spin Degrees Of Freedom. Project Achievements Will Pave The Way For Advances In Quantum Integrated Photonics, Large-Scale Quantum Networks And Solid-State Hybrid Quantum Systems.
