Purpose and goal
This project aims to initiate a prior research collaboration between Sweden and Singapore for developing room-temperature single-photon emitters at telecom wavelengths based on cubic silicon carbide. These single-photon emitters are essential for quantum technology protocols such as quantum information processing, quantum simulation, quantum networks, and quantum communications.
Expected effects and result
The main outcome of this project is to establish a long-term collaboration between Sweden and Singapore for the development of room-temperature single-photon emitters at telecom wavelengths based on cubic silicon carbide. A detailed roadmap for future experimental development will be planned, and the research proposal for the stage-2 research call will be finalized by the end of this stage 1 project.
Planned approach and implementation
The project will be carried out through online meetings, in-person discussions, and a three-week visit by the Swedish team to Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. This visit will deepen partnerships, explore collaboration opportunities, and support detailed planning for the Stage 2 research proposal, including joint experiments and new research ideas. By the end of Stage 1, we will submit our joint research proposal for Stage 2 research funding.
