The convergence of Quantum with AI

University of Basel

The University of Basel is a Swiss public research university whose physics department hosts experimental quantum information groups, notably work on spin qubits in semiconductor quantum dots and on nitrogen-vacancy centres in diamond for nanoscale magnetometry and sensing. Its quantum activities are academic rather than commercial, funded through Swiss national research programmes and the Swiss Nanoscience Institute, and focused on materials, control and measurement rather than on building a full-stack quantum computer. It is a university, not a company, and is not publicly listed.

New Method Generates Photons That Are Virtually Indistinguishable

Researchers at Paderborn University, the University of Basel, and Ruhr University Bochum demonstrated a photon source based on biexciton decay in quantum dots placed inside an optical cavity. The method increased the indistinguishability of emitted photons from about 60% to roughly 90%. The work is reported in Physical Review Letters.

OutlookPlausible

If the biexciton-cavity source can be fabricated repeatably, it could be integrated into prototype photonic quantum processors, improving two-photon interference fidelity and supporting more reliable on-chip entanglement generation within the next two years.
