ROADMAP

From mapped emitters to integrated quantum-light sources

Illustration of four mapped quantum emitters glowing orange on a hexagonal hBN flake.
AVAILABLE NOW: mapped quantum emitters in hBN

Four stages show what is available now, what is being engineered next and the longer-term integration objective.

Development stages

  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 above four stages are being implemented in two parallel strands focused on:

  • packaged plug-and-play single-photon source modules (TOP row in the below image)
  • photonic integrated circuits (BOTTOM row)

The second strand will miniaturise the source modules and lay a path to integrated quantum photonic circuits.

TOP ROW: staged development - from mapped emitters to a packaged source module to an application-specific module. BOTTOM ROW: a parallel photonic integrated circuit development strand - from an integrated photon source to an application-specific module to a quantum circuit.

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