The research forum builds bridges between government, academia, and industry to tackle society's big problems with cutting edge technological solutions. On behalf of Centre for Quantum Photonics (CQP) head, Professor Jeremy O'Brien, CQP members Caroline Clark, Damien Bonneau, Dylan Mahler, Joshua Silverstone, and Alex Neville travelled to London to show off Bristol's latest and greatest in quantum photonic technology.
Forum attendees were impressed by the technological scaling-up on display at the CQP's booth: several quantum microchips, from the CQP's earliest work in macroscopic glass waveguides, to today's nanoscale silicon devices, were on display. Attendees were treated to live views of each device under the microscope. Also on display was the CQP's latest educational and experimental tool, Quantum in the Cloud. This tool allows the public can to directly interact with a live two-qubit device, operating around-the-clock in Bristol's Centre for Nanoscience and Quantum Information.
Professor Jeremy O'Brien holds the RAEng Research Chair in Emerging Technologies, in the area of Photonic Quantum ICT, until 2023.
