This project funding will enable the team to design and demonstrate a chip-based entangled photon source suitable for high-loss satellite channels and achieve ultra-high signal rates and multi-channel multiplexing capability. This work will establish a novel solution for an integrated entangled photon source with an integrated pump laser and support multi-channel operation of a satellite link, while also support the interconnectability to multiple user end-points on the ground. The design of this novel source is intended to have a small format, be robust and portable., description french : Source quantique à haut débit et réseautable, expected results english : In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems., expected results french : À court terme, les résultats prévus seront des collaborations renforcées entre l'industrie, le milieu universitaire et le gouvernement pour soutenir l'excellence en recherche. À moyen terme, les résultats attendus seront le développement de nouvelles technologies potentiellement perturbatrices avec des collaborateurs. À long terme, trouver des solutions collaboratives aux défis des politiques publiques et créer des systèmes d'innovation plus solides., additional information english : This agreement has been amended 1 time(s).
