Scalable Quantum Graph State Generators

This project works towards an unhackable quantum internet. An unhackable Internet has been named the Number 1 breakthrough technology by the magazine, MIT Technological Review. A quantum Internet will be unhackable due to the laws of physics. Photons are the carrier of choice for quantum information in a quantum internet. Quantum repeaters are needed for long-distance quantum communication. A novel method for quantum repeaters is called all photonics quantum repeaters. To build all photonics quantum repeaters, one needs to create photonic graph states with multiple photons. This project involves research in both the theory and experiments of the generation of photonic graph states and lays the foundation of all photonics quantum repeaters and an unhackable quantum internet.
