Researchers from The Ohio State University's Institute for Optical Science and Department of Physics are part of the University of Michigan-led Quantum Photonic Integration and Deployment (QuPID) team, which has received a $4 million NSF Phase 2 award to develop next-generation quantum photonic chips.
The project aims to bring quantum sensing technologies out of specialized laboratories and into real-world applications, including GPS-free navigation and ultra-precise measurements. If successful, QuPID could advance to the final phase of the NSF competition, with the potential to become a national quantum center supported by up to $55 million in funding.
Ohio State researchers are contributing expertise in ultrafast and attosecond science to help transform cutting-edge quantum technologies into practical tools.
"By bringing our expertise in attosecond metrology to the QuPID project, we are helping to take the technology out of the lab and into the real world."
