Quantum communication and computation

Quantum communication and computation harness the principles of quantum mechanics to revolutionize information processing and transmission. In QPIT, we are at the forefront of exploring these emerging technologies, leveraging the unique properties of quantum states such as superposition and entanglement. These properties enable secure communication and computational tasks that vastly outperform their classical counterparts.

In the realm of quantum communication, we focus on developing protocols for quantum key distribution (QKD), which allows for unbreakable encryption by detecting any eavesdropping on the communication channel. Our research spans both the theoretical foundations and experimental implementations of QKD, exploring novel methods to enhance the reliability and security of quantum communication over long distances.

In quantum computation, we investigate both discrete and continuous variable platforms. Our work involves designing and manipulating quantum circuits that perform calculations far beyond the capabilities of classical computers. This includes developing error-correction methods and building scalable quantum architectures. One of our key research areas is continuous variable quantum computing, where we utilize squeezed light and cluster states to create robust computational resources for future quantum processors.

Supporting these efforts is a strong theoretical foundation, where we delve into quantum algorithms and error-correcting codes, aiming to optimize and understand the limits of quantum computation. By advancing both the theory and experimental capabilities in quantum communication and computation, we aim to unlock transformative applications in fields ranging from cryptography to machine learning and beyond.
