From nonlinear Optics to Quantum computing (OptiQ)
NON-STANDARD DATA AND IMAGE PROCESSING -
from nonlinear Optics to Quantum computing (OptiQ)
The OptiQ project is focused on non-standard data and image processing methods which will lead to advances in quantum computing (QC). The project is designed as a platform for collaboration of academia (Silesian University of Technology in Poland), research (Austrian Institute of Technology and Security Business Austria) and industry (Boson Energy from Luxemburg, LG Nexera from Vienna, and Envelo from Warsaw) in a common purpose to achieve beyond state-of-the-art progress in applications of quantum optics phenomena for quantum communication and computation, in particular for quantum image processing and security. The deployment potential of these latter applications will be exploited by Boson Energy in green energy sector and by Envelo in digital secure communication, respectively.
Project Aim
Through common implementation of an ambitious research programme, the project generates novel skills for all consortium participants. Interdisciplinary and intersectoral staff training serves as a basis for technology transfer and knowledge sharing between participants leading to elaboration and implementation of desired solutions. In this way, the project strengthens collaboration between Beneficiaries in quantum computing and communication (QCC) and in optical image processing (OIP).
In particular, the Consortium focuses on technology of entangled photons production and its application to Qbit building, quantum security, quantum block-chain technology and quantum communication. To facilitate contact with quantum optics, an Augmented Reality aided simulator & designer of optical quantum setups is also considered. Particular attention is paid to wide and efficient dissemination and communication.
Due to these measures, OptiQ project strengthens career perspectives of participating scientists, become the foundation for lasting collaborations in exploitation of results, and increases competitiveness of European Research Area and industry on the world’s QCC scene.
