According to foreign media reports, in a four-year, $2 million by the science foundation (NSF) auspices, hakim school of engineering and applied science, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering er will lead a photon system integration projects, designed to reduce security communication, measurement, sensing, and advanced computing complexity and improve the ability of quantum information processing.

The study is expected to bring a new kind of technology equipment, has a can't realize the properties and advantages of before, will eventually have far-reaching influence business to industry.

By mature silicon wafer processing and equipment manufacturing capacity, will be excellent linear optics and nonlinear optics, point defects, electrical, mechanical and thermal properties of integrated into a single material, which provide a promising for quantum optics, integrated system of material.

Hakim school of engineering and applied science, nonlinear and quantum mechanical optoelectronic lab director, lead researcher on the project er said: "our team will provide high fidelity quantum information processing, energy conservation and construction of quantum optics, chip level integrated silicon carbide processor, can seamlessly with fiber optic link, so as to realize secure communication, and the distribution of quantum information."
