Prof. Baugh and collaborators awarded a total of $3.17 million in funding for two Alliance Quantum grants from NSERC

The project Next-generation photonic source to enable quantum remote sensing and communications will use cutting-edge semiconductor device engineering to develop novel, on-demand sources of single photons. These sources will have unique capabilities, such as tunability between one- and two-photon emission, and can be scaled to on-chip arrays. This project also includes Baugh’s co-PIs Dr. Michael Reimer, faculty member at IQC and professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering; Dr. Zbig Wasilewski, a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering; and Dr. Francois Sfigakis, a research associate at IQC; as well as partnerships with Defence Research and Development Canada, the National Research Council Canada, and General Dynamics Land Systems - Canada.

The project Towards large-scale spin qubit quantum computers: simulation, modeling and experiment is led by Dr. Lan Wei, with Baugh and Dr. Youngki Yoon as co-PIs. The project is in partnership with NanoAcademic Technologies Inc. It aims to advance the state of the art in silicon quantum computing devices based on electron spin qubits.
