Quandela, CNRS, Université Paris-Saclay, and Université Paris Cité inaugurated the QDlight research laboratory at the Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. The lab will focus on quantum photonics, advancing the control of light in the quantum regime for applications in quantum computing and secure communications. The six-year collaboration aims to strengthen French expertise and sovereignty in photonic quantum computing.
The lab’s goals include developing next-generation quantum light emitters and protocols for fault-tolerant quantum computing and quantum communication. The research spans two main areas: creating quantum photonic entanglement protocols for advanced computing frameworks and improving the quality and reproducibility of quantum-dot-based photonic devices. These advances could enable breakthroughs in quantum computing efficiency and security.
Quandela, a leader in photonic quantum computing since 2017, emerged from the Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. Its expertise in quantum light emitters and photonic devices underpins the lab’s research focus. The collaboration continues Quandela’s track record of bridging academia and industry to maintain a global edge in quantum photonics.
This initiative underscores France’s strategic push in quantum technology, fostering public-private partnerships to drive innovation, train researchers, and address technological challenges in quantum science. For more information, visit the official announcement here.
