Create Gen0 Plug & Quantum-Sense Chips prototype–a revolutionary set of easy-to-connect photonic circuits that let you implement Nobel Prize-winning measurements with quantum light anywhere. These field-ready chips deliver unmatched accuracy, speed, and efficiency, making quantum breakthroughs accessible to everyone and transforming how we measure and interact with the world.

QuPID is one of the 11 Quantum Science and Demonstration (QSTD) projects funded through NSF National Quantum Virtual Laboratory (NQVL) initiative.

The NQVL on Quantum Photonic Integration and Deployment (QuPID), led by the University of Michigan with team members from Stanford University, Harvard University, Michigan State University, Ohio State University, University of Arizona, and University of Southern California, will transition spectroscopic quantum metrologies from the confines of the laboratory to real-world applications. This collaborative effort involves academia, industry, and national laboratories, focusing on creating the first practical, ultrabroad-band quantum photonic integrated circuits. These scalable chips will revolutionize the applications of high-precision quantum measurements across industries, from microelectronics and space to healthcare. Our user-friendly, chip-based instrumentation will also streamline education and naturally inspire the next generation of STEM enthusiasts, laying the groundwork for practical quantum technology and driving broad societal advancements.

 

1st Town-hall meeting

    1. January 20-21st, 2025 Ann Arbor, MI
    2. Topic: Refining the scope and focus of QuPID 
    3. The objectives of the town all are to:
      1. Strengthen connections within the QuPID team,
      2. Formulate how a Spectroscopic Quantum Measurement (SQM) chip could look like,
      3. collect input on use cases, education and outreach, and baseline tasks for a SQM-chip prototype, and 
      4. Formulate a visionary path for SQM chip’s development and integration with Q-PIC modules, assess overall use-case impact, critical issues, and contingency plans.
