This Fellowship application will provide support for a leading Photonics Engineering Academic, Prof Peter Smith, University of Southampton, to build a research team to address industry and academic led challenges in Quantum Technologies. The project is entitled QuINTESSEnCE - standing for Quantum Integrated Nonlinear Technology Enabling Stable, Scaleable Engineered for Commercial Exploitation. This title reflects our desire to develop technology that will be stable and applicable in real-world applications, and move that towards developing a supply chain to take Quantum Technologies towards commercial reality.The work will focus on building optical components and photonic manufacturing capability for the next generation of science and, by working closely with companies, to provide the components needed to underpin the application of quantum enabled technology to address a wide range of societal and economic challenges. Two core technologies will be developed, the first being lasers that are exceptionally stable and low noise, and ideally suited for use in a wide range of science applications. The second technology will see the development of new optical materials capable of converting the wavelength (colour) of laser light, efficiently and cheaply. The approach will use high reflecting cavities to enhance the light fields, giving high conversion efficiency and, importantly, exploiting the laws of quantum science to create photons with unique properties.The highlight of the project will be manufacturing demonstrators of our quantum enabled optical technology to take to companies and end-users that will act to prove their value. Two demonstration areas are planned, firstly detectors that will be able to see extremely low light levels in the infra-red without the need for expensive cooling to prevent noise. The second will be to use our lasers and cavities to show advantage in measuring optical fibre links while they are in use, improving data reliability on the internet and increasing down-load speeds.Detectors and other devices will be based on fundamental quantum properties, in which two photons can be fused together to create a single photon with higher energy but preserving fundamental quantum information in the photons themselves.

该奖学金申请将为主要的Photonics工程学术学术，南安普敦大学彼得·史密斯教授提供支持，以建立一个研究团队，以应对量子技术领域的行业和学术领导挑战。该项目的标题为典型 - 代表量子综合的非线性技术，可实现稳定，可缩放的工程，用于商业开发。这个标题反映了我们开发将稳定且适用于现实世界应用的技术的愿望，并朝着开发供应链以将量子技术带入商业现实的供应链中。这项工作将重点介绍建立下一代科学的光学组件和光子制造能力，并通过与公司紧密合作，与公司紧密合作，以提供量子范围内的范围和经济范围的范围，以实现范围范围内的范围。将开发两种核心技术，第一个是激光器异常稳定且低噪声，非常适合在广泛的科学应用中使用。第二种技术将看到能够开发新的光学材料，能够有效且便宜地转换激光光的波长（颜色）。该方法将使用高反射腔来增强光场，从而提供高转换效率，并重要的是，利用量子科学定律来创建具有独特属性的光子。该项目的重点将是使我们的量子光学技术的制造示威者能够为公司和最终用户提供量子，以证明其价值。计划了两个示范区域，首先是探测器，这些探测器将能够在红外线中看到极低的光水平，而无需昂贵的冷却以防止噪音。第二个将是使用我们的激光器和空腔在使用时测量光纤链接，提高互联网上的数据可靠性并提高下载速度。进行量子和其他设备将基于基本的量子属性，其中两个光子可以融合在一起，从而创建一个具有较高能量的光子，但保留了较高的基本量子量子量子，将基于基本的量子属性。
