Quantum computation

Our center is dedicated to developing an optical quantum computer, which leverages light (photons) as carriers of quantum information. Optical quantum computing offers several key advantages:

• Versatile Qubit Encoding: Photons can encode qubits using various degrees of freedom, including polarization, phase, and time-bin encoding.


• Low Decoherence: Unlike other quantum computing architectures, photons interact weakly with their environment, significantly reducing decoherence and error rates.


• Scalability: Optical components such as beam splitters, phase shifters, mirrors, and nonlinear crystals enable the construction of scalable quantum circuits with an increasing number of qubits.

However, realizing a practical optical quantum computer comes with significant challenges. These include efficient photon generation, implementing high-fidelity two-qubit gates, and achieving precise control over quantum operations. Overcoming these hurdles is crucial for the successful development of large-scale quantum computing using optical systems.
