The Quantum Information Sciences branch (AFRL/RITQ) performs cutting-edge experimental and theoretical research in a wide range of topics at the frontiers of quantum computing and quantum networking. With a unique interdisciplinary team composed of physicists, engineers, mathematicians, technicians, and computer scientists, RITQ has numerous active research efforts in quantum algorithms and leading quantum technologies such as trapped-ion systems, integrated quantum photonics, and superconducting quantum devices. Below are the application spaces and skillsets desired for four different projects available to choose from broken out by active research efforts. The Integrated Quantum Photonics team centers on both the theoretical and experimental aspects of photon-based qubits. The team develops the technology to generate, manipulate, measure, and quantify entangled photons. Typical summer projects include the production and quantification of entangled photons, programming to automate test equipment, integrated photonic device modeling, and theoretical models for quantum transduction.
