Our Work
Quantum Photonics: Engineering Sciences
The 2nd Quantum Revolution: Quantum Information Science (QIS) concerns the study, control, and manipulation of quantum systems with the goal of achieving information sensing, processing, and communication beyond the limits of the classical world.
We appreciate NASA, The Glenn Research Center and the many trailblazers that light our path. We continue the mission with groundbreaking achievements in the field of quantum optics. Our solutions take advantage of the laws of quantum physics. These laws allow particles—typically photons of light for transmitting data along optical cables—to take on a state of superposition, which means they can represent multiple combinations of 1 and 0 simultaneously. The particles are known as quantum bits, or qubits.
01
project: AXON EPS
Entangled Photon-Pair Source
-
Ultra Bright: crucial for the performance of light sources in quantum technologies.
-
Multi-pair suppression: reduces the number of multi-pairs emitted relative to single pairs
-
High fidelity: crucial for assessing the accuracy of quantum state transfer and operations in quantum computing and communication.
-
Efficient: operates at very low power levels.
-
Compact and transportable: Enables numerous in-field applications not previously possible.
02
project: AXON T/RX
Quantum Optical Transceiver
-
Highly secure: Hides secure code in the difference of the entangled-photon pair, making interception impossible, even with current state-of-the-art technology
-
Efficient: Transmits information at very low power levels, while using a limited number of photons
-
Versatile: Can be used in free space and with fiberoptic cables
-
Economical: Permits the use of low-cost, off-the-shelf optical coatings and components

project: QoR
Quantum Optical Repeater
We need quantum repeaters, or waystations with quantum processors in them that would allow encryption keys (qubits) to remain in quantum form as they are amplified and sent over long distances. Researchers have demonstrated it’s possible in principle to build such repeaters, but they haven’t yet been able to produce a working prototype.
