Search Areas
Quantum communications and networks
We design and develop integrated components such as quantum key distribution devices and quantum random number generators, the building blocks of the large quantum networks we use to provide secure solutions to users.
Quantum Imaging
We study and develop quantum imaging solutions based on quantum entanglement (or quantum correlation) to detect distant targets with better resolution and coverage, as well as devising quantum imaging techniques for seeing around corners or behind obstacles. These solutions improve the acquisition of information from air, ground, naval and space systems.
Quantum Sensing for Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT)
We design next generation miniaturised atomic clocks based on quantum principles, for improved accuracy and stability in security applications. This key technology provides a reliable sensor for scenarios in which no GPS signal is available.
