Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 153604 – Published 11 October 2019

In October we welcomed the participants of Den otevřených dveří – event intended for prospective students of STEM subjects. Few weeks later we took part in Přírodovědný jarmark an event open general audience, where one could chose from a range of activities including attending thematic talks, lab tours, or getting involved in simple scientific experiments.  

We held our first progress meeting and participated at the 6th International workshop on “Engineering of Quantum Emitter Properties”.

June 7th – roof terrace of the Palacký University Olomouc.

We will fabricate and exploit an entirely novel photonic device platform for the generation of highly indistinguishable and entangled photon pairs with near-unity extraction efficiency.

The envisioned implementation consists of a quantum dot embedded in engineered photonic environment. We predict that this device will generate very high rate of polarization entangled photons pairs and, in combination with time-bin entanglement, hyper-entangled quantum states.

Last but not the least, we will investigate the performance of this device in both free space and fibre based quantum networks, getting therefore closer to the establishment of an operating quantum system for real-life quantum communication.
