The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) awarded a $100,000 Project Grant under the Measurement and Engineering Research and Standards (CFDA 11.609) program to Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) to develop an integrated, chip-scale entangled photon pair source in the 1550 nm telecom band. The key objectives are to implement spontaneous four-wave mixing in a dispersion-engineered silicon carbide microring resonator to generate the entangled photon pairs, integrate tunable filtering to select the desired signal-idler channels, and optimize low-loss fiber coupling. The results are expected to enable a highly compact, energy-efficient entangled photon source that can support quantum communication applications such as quantum teleportation and entanglement distribution. The award period is from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2025.
