Room-Temperature Quantum Light, Optimised for Scale
Room-Temperature Quantum Light, Optimised for Scale
Photon Foundry engineers single-photon emitters (SPEs) on novel materials such as hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). Our goal is scalable, high-performance quantum light sources for secure communication, quantum computing, and ultra-precise sensing - technologies toward real-world deployment.
Photon Foundry leverages research and foundry-based manufacturing facilities, around Sydney, Australia, and internally
Hexagonal Boron Nitride: A Quantum-Ready 2D Material
Hexagonal Boron Nitride: A Quantum-Ready 2D Material
Unlike diamond, hBN enables bright and pure photon emission in 2D. Advantages include:
Room-temperature operation
Scalable integration methods
Emission from UV to near-IR
Spin-dependent photon emission - qubit creaiton
Quantum technologies:
Quantum technologies:
Communication: quantum internet, repeaters.
Computing: Photon-based qubits, entanglement networks
Sensing: Tip-based and in-situ quantum sensors, biological and electrical imaging
Integrated Photonics: QRNG, QKD, long-range entanglement, scalable chip platforms
