Their research which was published in Optica this month, provides details of the first quantum photonic interconnect, demonstrating high-fidelity entanglement distribution and manipulation between two separate photonic chips, implemented using state-of-the-art silicon photonics. 

Their work was completed in collaboration with researchers at IFN, NICT and the University of Glasgow shows how this interconnect could be integral to creating large-scale quantum computing architectures and systems which will require quantum interconnects to enable scaling beyond the limits of a single wafer, and toward multi-chip systems.
