Abstract

There is an important range of quantum-enhanced measurements that are not yet exploited by national metrology institutes (NMIs). This is because single-photon and entangled-photon sources, with the required performance parameters, are not readily available. Great advancements have been made in engineering these sources, but if they are to be used in metrological applications, significant further development is necessary. The aim of this proposed project is to develop bright entangled photon sources based on different application-oriented platforms and to exploit high-purity single-photon sources to demonstrate the quantum advantage achieved by using these sources for specific measurements.
