Quantum Photonic Chips (QPCs)
Quantum Photonic Chips (QPCs) are miniaturized, integrated devices that use photons to perform quantum computations and other quantum technologies, delivering faster computation, more secure communications and more energy saving solutions. The design of QPCs involve creating nanoscale components such as waveguides, beam splitters and interferometers, into an ultracompact space. These elements guide and manipulate photons to enable quantum phenomena, such as entanglement and superposition, for quantum computing and quantum key distribution (QKD). Bringing the QPCs to life requires precision and innovation, and Innofocus laser nanoprinting technology is able to achieve sub-100 nm resolution with <10 nm accuracy, ensuring that even the most delicate structures are fabricated flawlessly. Innofocus has been investing into QPC development since 2023, and has successfully designed, simulated, fabricated, and characterized the QPC prototype, named INNOFOCUS QPC-⍺ in early 2025. Innofocus welcomes and is open to collaborations from all industries. Researchers, collaborators, and valued customers will join together to build the ecosystem of nano-manufacturing in Australia. With QPC fabricating capabilities, Innofocus aims to provide smaller, faster, and energy-saving solutions for more industries.
