Specific activities of the CZS Center QPhoton at the Jena location are also highlighted below:
A silicon wafer with a series of Photonic Integrated Circuits (PIC), dedicated to be further developed into a Quantum PIC.

Each QPhoton Innovation Project should lead ideally to joint publications such that a collaborating record for future joint applications can be shown to exist. Until today, already five QPhoton Innovation Projects were selected and launched.
Detailed information on the application procedure is given here. External link

Prof. Fabian Steinlechner is working at his Lab at Beutenberg Campus.
Image: Ira WinklerSince 2023, the Experimental Quantum Information professorship of Fabian Steinlechner is supported within the Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung Center for Quantum Photonics (CZS Center QPhoton)with 1.7 Mio EUR. The Steinlechner group conducts applied research in the field of quantum communication and photonic quantum information processing. Working in close collaboration with partners in academia and industry they aim to bridge the gap between fundamental quantum research and real-world applications. Fabian Steinlechner's research focuses on novel quantum light sources for applications in quantum communication and sensing, efficient processing and detection schemes for high-dimensional quantum information, as well as scalable methods for the transmission of quantum states over long distances. A central goal is to incorporate photonic quantum technology in robust, field-deployable hardware systems that are suitable for integration in future quantum networks, long-distance atmospheric free-space links, and ultimately satellite-based quantum key distribution sytems.
