The two Canadian companies, Ki3 Photonics and Quantum Bridge Technologies, received the grant from the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) to develop and methodologically study new techniques for the generation of large cluster states. A goal of this project will include finding ways of reducing resource requirements for the generation of cluster states when using various sources, identify the advantages and limitations of different approaches, and identify avenues to robust entanglement distribution in realistic environments. generation, control, and distribution of entangled particles is a key element in both quantum computing and quantum communications. So, a better understanding of how large cluster states can be created and manipulated can help enable applications like scalable measurement-based quantum computers, quantum repeaters, or even large networks of sensors based on quantum phenomena. Additional information is available in a news release on the Ki3 website here.
