Introdution
Wrocław University of Science and Technology (PWR/Wroclaw Tech) is one of Poland’s most prominent and best technical universities. There are currently 23000 students and 900 doctoral students at the tertiary institution’s 14 faculties and three regional branches, supervised by 2300 academic staff. As a European technical university, Wroclaw Tech celebrates values such as freedom, truth, curiosity, and the joy of science. The university is active in interdisciplinary research, including photonics and nanotechnology, and provides education that aligns with society’s and the economy’s expectations.

Role/Contribution
PWR/Wroclaw-Tech plays an essential role in the development of deterministically fabricated quantum dot (QD)–based photon emitters operating in the telecom C-band and their subsequent heterogeneous integration with photonic chips. This, in turn, paves the way for optical signal processing at the quantum level. To achieve this, the Wroclaw-Tech collaborates closely with DTU, offering simulation expertise for photon transfer between different material platforms. Additionally, they provide QD emission imaging, which accurately locates a QD, thereby allowing for the shaping of the QD photonic environment. Furthermore, the Wroclaw-Tech offers the optical characterisation of a hybrid system and its components.

Why is this project important?
The QPIC1550 projects offer PWR/Wroclaw Tech an excellent opportunity to gain experience and knowledge from all the outstanding project partners. Additionally, PWR/Wroclaw Tech can provide valuable input to help achieve ambitious and challenging project goals. Participating in this innovative research program will enhance the university’s visibility in quantum nanotechnology and photonic fields, opening up new possibilities for its development.
