Quantum photonic entanglement generated from a parametric photon-pair source is a crucial resource for many quantum technological implementations, for example, an entanglement-based global quantum network and metrology beyond classical limits. I will talk about the use of quantum photonic integrated circuits for building an advanced quantum network, particularly, quantum teleportation [1] and our recent results on parametric photon-pair sources [2-4].

Biography:

Imad Faruque is a Research Fellow (Academic Member of Staff) of Quantum Technology at the University of Sheffield. Imad leads the group of Quantum Photonic Integrated Circuits at the Sheffield Quantum Centre. He completed his PhD in 2018 in Physics as a Marie Curie ESR fellow in quantum photonics from the University of Bristol showing the first demonstration of indistinguishable and entangled photon-pairs from resonant structures. He received Erasmus Mundus Masters of Photonics Science and Engineering in 2012 from the University of St Andrews, Universiteit Gent and Vrije Universiteit Brussel, and BSc in 2009 in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology. Imad’s research highlights developing high-performance photon-pair sources for quantum communications, quantum computing and quantum metrology.
