QUANTUM-LIGHT HARDWARE

Building quantum-light sources for practical systems

Photon Foundry is developing room-temperature hBN single-photon emitters (a.k.a. quantum emitters) for quantum communications, sensing and integrated photonics. Research samples are available now; packaged source modules are in development.

Why hBN

Illustration of a hexagonal boron nitride material platform concept.

Hexagonal boron nitride is a two-dimensional layered material that can host single-photon emitters operating at room temperature. Its form factor creates promising routes to compact nanophotonic integration.
