It’s well known that most quantum technologies are built from and underpinned by advanced photonic technologies. As these systems reach maturity, there will become more and more opportunity to transfer photonic technologies from one application to another. In this talk, Dr Francis-Jones will describe ORCA Computing’s efforts to take novel components, built to produce very high quality, on demand single photons for photonic quantum computers and apply these to improve quantum communication technologies. Dr Francis-Jones will identify several technologies that ORCA is spinning off to help increase the key rates of QKD, reduce the background noise from daylight and improve and reduce the cost of the quality of detection.
Some 8 years since the UK announced the world’s first national quantum technology programme and word has gotten out. Nowdays, every country with half a physicist has now announced their intention to ‘lead the world in the second quantum revolution’. How does the UK fare in the future quantum industry? In this new crowded market of quantum-ambitious countries, we should consider how to intelligently understand how the pieces fit together within a future, globally connected quantum economy. Richard Murray will elaborate on the work the UKQuantum- the voice of the UK quantum industry and how it is looking to help.
Quantum computing is an emerging answer to the world’s data challenges but so-far have not yet achieved the 1,000s of qubits that are needed to solve useful problems. Richard will summarise the state of the art, and how ORCA Computing are looking to build quantum computers with single photons.
