Integrated Quantum Technology
In our research we aim at developing quantum technology for single-photons on silicon chips. We design, fabricate and test photonic devices using advanced nanotechnology that allows for straightforward replication of functional units. Our activities focus on three core constituents of chip-scale quantum optics:

• Design of efficient interfaces between optical waveguides and single-photon sources.
• Development of nanophotonic devices and quantum circuit components. 
• Integration of superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors with nanophotonic waveguides.

Combining all three of these research directions leads to scalable quantum information processing with tremendous benefits over classical computation and communication systems.

Our research concerns photonic quantum technologies for a future quantum internet. We develop quantum light sources as well as spin-photon interfaces based on semiconductor quantum dots, emerging 2D materials, but also fluorescent proteins. Using the generated light states, we are implementing quantum information protocols in laboratory- and field-experiments, which can ultimately be scaled to large-scale quantum networks.

Our activities focus on the following aspects:

• Foundations of quantum technologies: generation and control of photonic- and spin-states
• Technological building blocks: quantum light sources, spin-photon interfaces, etc.
• Protocol implementations: quantum cryptography and networks in laboratory and field experiments
