Abstract

The broad aim behind this project is to provide metrology for new high performance quantum grade interconnects with traceable verification for communication links to create versatile and easy-to-use building blocks for distributing entanglement over fibre networks. These building blocks can be used to build a ‘Quantum Internet’ to enable applications such as ultra-secure communication and distributed quantum computing in hyperscale data centres, high performance computing (HPC) and 5G environments. The ‘building blocks’ primarily referred to in this report relate to the interconnecting conduits to transfer and distribute entangled photons such as Quantum grade optical fibre patchcords as well as the optical fibre itself.
