Quantum Communications

Building the Quantum Internet

The Challenge 

Quantum communication networks require single-photon level sensitivity and ultra-low-loss optical routing to preserve quantum states over meaningful distances. Creation of entangled photon pairs traditionally requires complex lasers and non-linear crystals.

Our Solution 

Silicon Micro-comb technology can enable low-cost, compact, and high performance entangled photon generation. 

Key Benefits: 

  • 10x smaller than traditional quantum sources 
  • Room-temperature operation eliminating cryogenic requirements 
  • High-fidelity quantum state preservation 
  • Scalable architecture for quantum repeater networks

Technical Specifications 

  • Propagation Loss: <0.1 dB/cm   
  • Operating Temperature: Room temperature (no cryogenics) 
  • Photon Pair Generation Rate: >10⁶ pairs/s/mW 
  • Photon Indistinguishability: >30% (HOM visibility) 

Validation
