项目摘要

Optoelectronic devices are vital in our modern society for processing and transmitting information. Electronic signals are manipulated at GHz frequencies with semiconductor devices and signals are transmitted over large distances via optical fibres using semiconductor lasers and detectors. However, new approaches to process and transmit information are required to keep pace with the daunting increase in the volume of information and the continued miniaturization of devices. To address this, radical ideas which exploit coherent quantum states are being developed for a diverse range of applications including communication, information processing, and metrology. As with the existing digital economy, semiconductor heterostructures will be central to future commercialization of quantum technologies. The most feasible approach to implement quantum technologies is to interface flying bits of quantum information, photons, with the semiconductor quantum states. Hence, quantum photonic devices with extremely efficient light-matter interaction (at the single photon level) are paramount for the future digital economy. This Challenging Engineering programme aims to engineer ideal quantum photonic devices and exploit them for an array of quantum technologies. Success will be a major boost to UK competitiveness in a key frontier research area and strategies are in place to impact multiple academic disciplines, UK industry, and multiple segments of the general public.

光电设备在现代社会处理和传输信息方面至关重要。使用半导体器件以 GHz 频率操纵电子信号，并使用半导体激光器和探测器通过光纤远距离传输信号。然而，需要新的方法来处理和传输信息，以跟上信息量的惊人增长和设备的持续小型化。为了解决这个问题，人们正在开发利用相干量子态的激进想法，用于通信、信息处理和计量等多种应用。与现有的数字经济一样，半导体异质结构将成为量子技术未来商业化的核心。实现量子技术最可行的方法是将飞行的量子信息、光子与半导体量子态连接起来。因此，具有极其高效的光与物质相互作用（在单光子水平）的量子光子器件对于未来的数字经济至关重要。这个具有挑战性的工程项目旨在设计理想的量子光子器件，并将其用于一系列量子技术。成功将极大提升英国在关键前沿研究领域的竞争力，并且制定的战略将影响多个学科、英国工业和公众的多个领域。
