Abstract given by the source: Kvantemekanisk sammenfiltring er centralt for alle kvanteteknologier: det er grunden til at kvantealgoritmer skalerer bedre end deres klassiske modparter, og samtidig muliggør det sikker kommunikation over store afstande mellem to eller flere parter. Det er samtidig et af de mest udfordrende fænomener at observere og kontrollere grundet sin flygtige natur. Dette projekt adresserer problemet med at generere to sammenfiltrede fotoner ved at benytte kvantelyskilder (en form for kunstigt atom) på en halvlederchip. Vi vil udvikle en chip, som – gennem hidtil uset kontrol over interaktionen mellem fotoner og kvantelyskilderne – kan generere par af sammenfiltrede fotoner on-demand. En sådan chip vil kunne pakkes og implementeres i anvendelser i den virkelige verden, såsom kvantekommunikation og -computere, og lægger fundamentet for en ægte skalerbar vej imod fotonisk kvanteteknologi.
