The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $500,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the Regents of the University of Michigan to develop quantum photonic integrated circuits (Q-PICs) for field-deployable spectroscopic quantum metrologies. The "Quantum Photonic Integration and Deployment (QUPID)" project aims to transform existing quantum-photonic components and create new quantum process design kits (Q-PDKs) that integrate ultrawide bandgap III-nitride ferroelectric quantum materials with silicon photonics. This effort seeks to overcome limitations in precision, speed, and resource usage of current quantum-sensing technologies, enabling the widespread adoption of practical quantum advantages for diverse industries, from microelectronics to healthcare. The project will run from Dec 2024 to Nov 2025 and is led by the University of Michigan in collaboration with researchers from Stanford, Harvard, Michigan State, Ohio State, the University of Arizona, the University of Southern California, industry partners, and national laboratories.
