Rochester Business Journal speaks to Stefan Preble, Bausch and Lomb Professor and Ph.D. program director in the Department of Microelectronic Engineering, about how the funds will support quantum development.

Rochester Beacon discusses the impact the funds will have on the further development of an experimental network connecting the campuses, speaking to Stefan Preble, Bausch and Lomb Professor and Ph.D. program director in the Department of Microelectronic Engineering.

RIT and the University of Rochester will receive $2 million in federal funding to further develop the Rochester Quantum Network (RoQNET). The National Institute of Standards and Technology is providing the funding to advance the future of secure quantum communications and to build new capabilities for RoQNET.

RIT researchers are zeroing in on quantum photonics, the creation, control, and detection of light. Photonics has long been a specialty of the university. RIT led the team that developed the first quantum photonic wafer, which is key to the future of mass-produced quantum communication systems.

Researchers at RIT and University of Rochester recently connected their campuses with an experimental quantum communications network using two optical fibers. The Rochester Quantum Network (RoQNET) uses single photons to transmit information about 11 miles along fiber-optic lines at room temperature using optical wavelengths.

RIT has been awarded $3.97 million from the Northeast Regional Defense Technology Hub (NORDTECH) to advance quantum chip technologies. The focus will be on scaling the power of quantum systems by entangling them across a photonic network.
