BTQ Technologies Corp. (Nasdaq: BTQ) has announced a collaboration with the University of Cambridge to fund research in quantum photonic devices. The collaboration will focus on implementing inverse-design approaches to develop novel quantum photonic devices, which are a critical technology for the future of quantum computing and quantum-secure communications.
The research project will leverage advanced computational design techniques to create quantum photonic devices with the goal of optimising device geometries to maximize the collection of quantum light in and out of a chip. This involves implementing sophisticated inverse-design methodologies to discover device geometries that could significantly outperform traditional designs. The resulting integrated quantum photonic components are expected to have applications in quantum information processing and secure quantum communications.
Olivier Roussy Newton, CEO of BTQ Technologies, noted that the research is intended to position BTQ at the forefront of technologies that will define the quantum era. Dr. Luca Sapienza, Associate Professor at the University of Cambridge, commented that the collaboration accelerates the ability to translate fundamental quantum science into practical technologies that can secure and enhance global digital infrastructures.
