Integrated Quantum Technologies for Satellite Applications (B06)

• Subject Area: Optics, Quantum Optics and Physics of Atoms, Molecules and Plasmas
• Term: since 2024
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 516238647

In this project, miniaturised, modular integrated photonic chips are being developed and investigated, which represent key elements for future quantum technology applications in space. This includes components such as integrated single photon sources and elements for information processing. These will be combined to form communication chips that will allow the potential of integrated photonics for quantum communication to be evaluated in an exemplary manner. The main focus will be to test and explore these chips under VLEO-typical environmental conditions.
