Incubation Programs

With the global surge of interest in quantum technologies, Qudyco aims to develop useful and usable software which solves the Schrodinger equation for complex real-world settings in its back end, while the front end presents a design platform for quantum hardware. Developing such software also requires QUDYCO to build a robust, reliable experimental system to benchmark the computational modules within the software, especially while simulating imperfections and errors. Qudyco Aims to deliver:

a) Hardware: Control Box (QCB)

b) Software: Quantum Control and Simulation (QCSim)

Hardware will be a general-purpose control box which is suitable for most atomic, molecular and optics laboratories due to its wide range of integration tech and various input-output digital and analog capabilities.

Software will contain rich data which will grow over the development phase. These data, together with solvers, will provide solution to control parameters to aid the experimentalist. This software also controls the QCB through a wired local area network (LAN).

Although there are repositories available for atomic properties, Their projectl would be first software to include a solver that can be used for design purposes. Moreover, some of the cases of the dynamical equations that they plan to solve at the back end are computationally challenging. In fact, most of the problems involving an array of atoms feature an exponential increase in complexity and therefore are subject to active research in developing faster numerical algorithms. Throughout the development of the software they also plan to include any new, efficient numerical methods at the back end solver

QKD (Quantum key distribution) is offering post Quantum Cryptography solutions to provide security to information systems in post Quantum Supremacy. The existing QKD solutions are bulk, discrete, expensive and offer low reliability. Further, their channel loss is higher, clock rates are lower and QBER is higher. Such systems require tremendous improvement for wider adoption.

The need of the hour is to evolve IC based solutions for Quantum communications, specifically QKD (Quantum Key Distribution) Photonics Integrated Circuits’ (PICs) offer miniaturization, efficiency, reliability and cost effectivity.

Current evolving PICs solutions offer traditional entanglement based and discrete propositions. Their project proposes to develop active, phase transformation oriented or ‘Differential phase shift (DPS) QKD which provide reliable security.

Ampicq will develop two chips parallel: Transmitter and Receiver Chips. They will design and develop test chips for POC Developed PICs to be deployed in customer’s QKD commercial solutions.

Large defect-free arrays of neutral atoms can be assembled by using programmable and movable optical tweezers loaded with single atoms. The atoms can be loaded into the tweezers from a Magneto Optical Trap (MOT), which cools the atoms to a temperature of few microkelvin.

Subsequently, Raman sideband cooling in the tweezer brings the atoms to the quantum ground state. Because of these high potentials, ultracold quantum gases in optical traps have taken place in the forefront of current research and is now the heart among the candidates for physical implantation of quantum technologies.

Laser systems are at the heart of the necessary equipment/components required for the physical implementation of cold atom based quantum computing and quantum technologies in general.

Prenishq will develop a stable laser system for the same purpose. Once the laser system is developed, it can be used for various other application scenarios besides cold atom based quantum technologies.
