Agreement Number:
981427
Agreement Value:
$558,580.00
Agreement Date:
Jan 6, 2022 - Dec 31, 2025
Description:
The Project will build upon existing integrated quantum source, practical detection systems and recent advances in a tabletop practical quantum enhanced target detection system at the University of Toronto to deliver novel photonic integrated circuits, which empower readily manufacturable, reliable and portable quantum sensing components. Quantum enhanced systems will be achieved by delivering novel circuits, which are composed of numerous devices fabricated separately to realize quantum photonic sensing hardware. The Project will advance LiDAR and positional/ navigational sensing capabilities by adopting established and successful technologies from electronics manufacturing to benefit quantum technologies in sensing applications especially those in the fields or LiDAR, radar, and PNT. The Project team will design, optimize and produce the active and passive photonic components separately. The Project will result in high TRL technologies which are rugged, low-cost, low-power, and portable. The Project will constitute a substantial advance in Canadian quantum-based sensing technology.
