This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $399,083 will support research at the University of Illinois from August 2022 to July 2025 under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The award will fund development of single-photon quantum information processing using nonlinear photonic integrated circuits. Specifically, the university researchers will work to generate and manipulate few-photon quantum correlations and entanglement through an integrated photonic system with record-high optical nonlinearity. This will enable critical quantum optical protocols including quantum non-demolition measurement of photons and synchronous entanglement swapping with high fidelity. Outcomes aim to harness quantum coherence and enhance photonic quantum information processing, paving the way for repeater-enabled quantum networks.
