Congratulations to Mayte (left) and Taras (right) for winning the Quantum Days 2022 poster prize with their project on Artificial removal in Quantum Optical Coherence Topography. The photo features their set up of the Hong Ou Mandel Interferometer.
Our CFI-JELF application has been accepted. This federal funding allows us to purchase our second fridge that will be used to develop the base components of quantum computing. Featured is the IHQC’s Laboratory Quantum Refrigerator.
Thank you Alberta Innovates for your support of our research and innovation. Funding and advisory support provided by Alberta Innovates through the Accelerating Innovations into CarE (AICE) – Concepts Program will allow us to develop quantum sensing and imaging techniques, 1 June 2021.
Our paper Converting microwave and telecom photons with a silicon photonic nanomechanical interface has been published in Nature Communications. In this work we utilize the unique opportunities of silicon photonics, cavity optomechanics and superconducting circuits to demonstrate a fully integrated, coherent transducer interfacing the microwave X and the telecom S bands with a total (internal) bidirectional transduction efficiency of 1.2% (135%) at millikelvin temperatures.
Lab Renovation is complete, equipment installation is now underway.
Thank you NSERC-CRSNG for your support of our research and innovation. Our group has successfully received the NSERC Discovery Grant, which will support the research for the next five years.
Our lab renovation has been started in at the beginning of April 2020 and will be finished by the end of June 2020.
Our paper Microwave quantum illumination using a digital receiver has been published. In this work we experimentally investigate the concept of quantum illumination at microwave frequencies. We generate entangled fields to illuminate a room-temperature object at a distance of 1 m in a free-space detection setup. We implement a digital phase-conjugate receiver based on linear quadrature measurements that outperforms a symmetric classical noise radar in the same conditions, despite the entanglement-breaking signal path.
