A team from the University of Colorado (CU) Boulder has won Phase 1 of the NSIN-sponsored Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) High-Rate Entangled Photon Sources Enabling Quantum Networks Grand Challenge (AFRL Grand Challenge #3). The challenge includes the potential of a $500,000 contract – awarded in four development phases over the next nine months – to develop high-rate entangled-photon sources. The effort could enable global quantum networks, networked quantum sensors, and distributed quantum computing.
