Summary
On-chip microwave generation and detection with Josephson photonics . The ability to generate and detect a single photon, a single particle of light, is a key requirement of many quantum technologies from quantum sensors, to quantum computing and quantum communications protocols. This project aims to develop next-generation microwave photon sources and detectors that are based on superconducting effects. It will lead to new knowledge in how to control, entangle and detect single microwave photon ....On-chip microwave generation and detection with Josephson photonics . The ability to generate and detect a single photon, a single particle of light, is a key requirement of many quantum technologies from quantum sensors, to quantum computing and quantum communications protocols. This project aims to develop next-generation microwave photon sources and detectors that are based on superconducting effects. It will lead to new knowledge in how to control, entangle and detect single microwave photons in order to make devices that are simpler to build and operate and more efficient than state-of-the-art technologies. This has direct economic benefits in developing new sensors for biological, chemical and astronomical processes and will advance Australia's efforts to build a scalable quantum computer.
