Bringing the quantum world into integrated photonics.

By using the same successful paradigm of microelectronics, the vision is to have low cost and mass manufacturable integrated quantum photonic circuits for a variety of different applications in quantum computing, measure, sensing, secure communications and services.

The silicon platform permits, in a natural way, the integration of quantum photonics with electronics.
