The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the American Institute for Manufacturing Integrated Photonics (AIM Photonics) have partnered to develop high-frequency optical/electronic chips. These chips will enable more precise measurements of quantum systems and other advanced technologies.
The collaboration aims to create photonic chips that can operate at frequencies up to 100 GHz, a significant improvement over current capabilities. These chips will be crucial for measuring the properties of quantum systems, which are essential for developing quantum technologies like quantum computers and quantum sensors.
The project will focus on developing new materials and fabrication techniques to achieve the desired performance levels. NIST will provide its expertise in measurement science and standards development, while AIM Photonics will contribute its experience in photonic chip manufacturing.
The partnership is expected to result in the development of a new generation of high-frequency photonic chips that will enable more accurate and precise measurements of quantum systems. This will be a significant step forward in the development of quantum technologies and will have important implications for a wide range of applications, from quantum computing to quantum sensing.
