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.

光电设备在我们现代的处理和传输信息的现代社会中至关重要。电子信号在具有半导体设备的GHz频率下操纵，并使用半导体激光器和检测器通过光纤在大距离内传输信号。但是，需要新的处理和传输信息的方法，以跟上信息的艰巨增加以及设备的持续微型化。为了解决这个问题，正在为包括通信，信息处理和计量的各种应用程序开发利用相干量子状态的激进思想。与现有的数字经济一样，半导体异质结构将是量子技术未来商业化的核心。实施量子技术的最可行的方法是将量子信息（光子）与半导体量子状态接口。因此，对于未来的数字经济，具有极有效的轻度互动（在单个光子水平上）的量子光子设备至关重要。这个具有挑战性的工程计划旨在设计理想的量子光子设备，并利用它们为一系列量子技术。成功将在关键的边境研究领域取得重大促进英国的竞争力，并制定了影响多个学术学科，英国行业和多个公众的多个部分的策略。
