Indistinguishable deterministic quantum dots for quantum networking

The Department of Defense, specifically the United States Air Force, is seeking proposals for the development of indistinguishable deterministic quantum dots aimed at enhancing quantum networking capabilities. The primary objective is to create scalable single photon sources that demonstrate indistinguishability among various quantum dot emitters, facilitating interference in integrated photonic circuits. This initiative is crucial for advancing quantum photonic networks, with a focus on achieving uniform emission across quantum dots and integrating them into optical cavities for improved performance. The solicitation is set to open on May 28, 2025, with proposals due by June 25, 2025. Interested parties can find more information and submit proposals through the official SBIR website at https://www.dodsbirsttr.mil/topics-app/.
