Science is becoming adept at manipulating individual particles such as photons and electrons. The limits in sensitivity, speed, power, etc. of the various devices that we would use these particles in are set by the strange laws of Quantum Physics. The careful control of quantum particles will allow us to build sensors with dramatically higher sensitivity, computers than can solve intractable problems, and the first provably secure communication systems. This research will design and create a microchip of photonic circuits with which we can produce and control individual photons. The eventual goal is to create these potentially revolutionary devices.

科学在操纵光子和电子等单个粒子方面变得越来越熟练。我们使用这些粒子的各种设备在灵敏度、速度、功率等方面的限制是由量子物理的奇怪定律决定的。对量子粒子的仔细控制将使我们能够制造灵敏度高得多的传感器，能够解决棘手问题的计算机，以及第一个可证明安全的通信系统。这项研究将设计和制造一个光子电路的微芯片，我们可以用它来产生和控制单个光子。最终的目标是创造这些潜在的革命性设备。
