The goal of my project is to develop high-quality photon-pair sources in bespoke optical fibre and interface them with quantum memories that can store and retrieve the photons. The project will involve designing and then making photonic crystal fibre in the optical fibre fabrication facilities in Bath. The modelling of the fibre will involve developing analytic and computational skills. I will investigate recent advances in the design of fibres that enable increased performance and reduced noise in the four-wave mixing photon-pair generation process. Having fabricated new fibre, I will measure the quality of the fibres I the photonics laboratories and build the fibre photon pair sources. In addition, I will investigate the role of reflective fibre Bragg gratings in photonic crystal fibre for controlling photon-pair generation; this work will be carried out in collaboration with the University of Southampton. The fibres created will be useful to allow for better quality photon-pair sources to act as a single source for quantum technology. This is useful for quantum communication which is secure as well as the potential for aiding the simulation of pharmaceuticals.

我的项目的目标是在定制的光纤中开发高质量的光子对源，并将它们与可以存储和检索光子的量子存储器连接。该项目将涉及设计，然后在巴斯的光纤制造设施中制造光子晶体光纤。纤维的建模将涉及开发分析和计算技能。我将调查的最新进展，在四波混频光子对产生过程中，使性能提高和噪声降低的光纤设计。在制造出新的光纤后，我将在光子学实验室测量光纤的质量，并建立光纤光子对源。此外，我将研究反射光纤布拉格光栅在光子晶体光纤中的作用，以控制光子对的产生;这项工作将与南安普顿大学合作进行。所创建的光纤将有助于允许更好质量的光子对源作为量子技术的单一源。这对于安全的量子通信以及帮助药物模拟的潜力是有用的。
