PROJECT TITLE: Quantum correlated photon triplets for telecommunications — 3 photons

Coordinator: Universitatea Politehnica Bucuresti, Research Center for Spatial lnformation (CEOSpace Tech) 

Partners: “Horia Hulubei” National Institute of Physics and Nuclear Engineering (IFIN-HH)

Period: 11 October 2013 – 12 October 2016

Project director: Dr. Falie Dragos

Project team:

• Physicists: 2
• Engineers: 6
• Technicians: 2
• Others: 5 

Description: The main goal of the project is to accomplish a scientific mission: to verify the hypothesis of the quantum correlation of three photons and validate the generating method of these photons. On this purpose, technological means will be designed and manufactured; characterization methods will be developed.

Project objectives: –

Activities:

• WP1 – Supply of instruments, components and materials
• WP2 – Testing the stimulated SPDV emission
• WP3 – Quantum correlated photons triplets generator
• WP4 – A quantum cryptography protocl and the associated algorithms
• WP5 – Intellectual property protection and dissemination
• WP6 – Consortium coordination

Contributions to the STAR programme objectives:

• Develop of a secure key distribution protocol for space and related applications, based on a correlated photon triplets generator.
• This project  will contribute to this quantum information studies.
