Quantum technologies are expected to revolutionize our world by exploiting fundamental quantum physical effects for novel technological applications in the areas of communication, information processing and sensing. Examples include secure quantum communication, where inherent security is guaranteed by fundamental principles, quantum processors exceeding the performance of classical computers, and quantum sensors with unprecedented sensitivity and functionality. To enable these technologies is essential that the fundamental quantum physical effects, such as superposition and entanglement, are made accessible in quantum hardware which requires sophisticated quantum engineering. This major research instrumentation proposal applies for matching funds to set up a "Photonic Quantum Engineering Testbed". This testbed provides benchmarking capabilities for the engineering of building blocks and integrated circuits for photonic quantum technologies. At the same time, it enables a wealth of novel research opportunities in the areas of quantum material characterization, fundamental quantum optical studies and realizing distributed quantum networks. To these ends, this tool shall consist of a millikelvin cryostat equipped with a vector magnet and optical access, complemented with a tuneable laser for optical excitation as well as efficient single-photon detectors.

量子技术有望通过在通信、信息处理和传感领域利用基本的量子物理效应实现新的技术应用，从而彻底改变我们的世界。例如，安全的量子通信，其固有的安全性由基本原理保证，量子处理器超过经典计算机的性能，以及具有前所未有的灵敏度和功能的量子传感器。要实现这些技术，至关重要的是要使基本的量子物理效应，如叠加和纠缠，能够在需要复杂的量子工程的量子硬件中使用。这项重大研究仪器的提案申请了配套资金，建立了一个“光子量子工程试验台”。该试验台为光子量子技术的构建块和集成电路的工程提供基准能力。同时，它在量子材料表征、基础量子光学研究和实现分布式量子网络等领域也带来了丰富的新的研究机会。为此，该工具应包括配备有矢量磁铁和光学通道的毫微克尔文低温恒温器，辅以用于光学激发的可调谐激光器以及高效的单光子探测器。
