ROADMAP

One hBN foundation, two development directions

Our roadmap builds on shared hBN materials development and characterisation, with branches in quantum photonics and semiconductor device stacks.

Shared foundation and development directions

Materials development and characterisation underpin both branches. Later stages are directional and subject to technical validation and commercial priorities.

An illustrative shared foundation labelled hBN materials development and characterisation branches into quantum photonics, with integrated emitters and source hardware, and semiconductor device stacks, including 2D electronics.
Illustrative development directions from a shared hBN materials foundation.

Quantum photonics

Research-grade emitters are available today. Development work progresses towards integrated emitters, photonic chips and packaged source hardware for communications and sensing.

Semiconductor device stacks

Developing hBN materials for semiconductor devices, including future 2D electronics, with integration as a longer-term objective.

Quantum-photonics development

AVAILABLE NOW: mapped quantum emitters in hBN
  1. AVAILABLE NOW

    Mapped emitters

    Coordinate-mapped hBN emitters for early-access research use with suitable optical equipment.

  2. IN DEVELOPMENT

    Packaged source modules

    Fibre-coupled single-photon source modules intended to simplify use in laboratory and prototype systems.

  3. PLANNED

    Application modules

    Application-specific modules for quantum key distribution, random-number generation, sensing and education.

  4. LONGER-TERM

    Photonic-circuit integration

    Longer-term integration of quantum-light sources with photonic circuits for compact modules and OEM systems.

The quantum-photonics branch includes parallel work on:

  • packaged plug-and-play single-photon source modules
  • photonic integrated circuits

These strands build towards compact source hardware and integrated quantum photonic circuits.

Mapped emitters are available on an early-access basis. Later stages are directional and subject to technical validation and commercial priorities.
