Workshop 16:00 - 17:30
UK capabilities in photonics (& new allied technologies): current status, demands and drivers, future prospects, and opportunities for growth The Netherlands is a leading nation in photonic and quantum technologies, strong supported by government R&D programs. The Dutch Photon Delta program is an integrated photonics ecosystem for photonic chips that designs, develops and manufactures innovative solutions connecting researchers and pioneers in the field with industries, investors, and viable markets. The Quantum Delta program consists of five connected quantum hubs collaborating on new applications of quantum technology and integrating diverse technologies and skillsets to raise technology readiness levels in quantum computing, simulation, networking, and sensing applications. The UK has also invested very strongly in photonics and quantum technologies via UKRI, Innovate UK and DCMS, and via the UK National Quantum Technologies Programme. Are these programmes working for the UK, for the scientists and engineers at the heart of these developments, and for UK society as a whole in terms of new business opportunities and wealth creation? Or, can we learn something from our friends and collaborators oversees, for instance the Dutch Photon Delta and Quantum Delta programs? Speaker panel:
Dr Andrew Robertson, CTO, Bay Photonics Quantum communications is enabled by photonic devices. Single photon detectors and sources are the basic components required for quantum based optical data transmission. Of course, packaging of these devices is critical and operation at low temperature (down to cryogenic) temperature is typically required. Ground-breaking advances in
semiconductor chip design for quantum technology (QT) are taking place against the current background of efforts to simplify and cost reduce photonics based components in the more mature telecoms market, often focussing largely on the packaging element, with a drive towards un- cooled and non-hermetic packages. We look at the photonic packaging challenges for critical quantum enabling components and issues arising through the use of industry standard photonic package solutions as well as highlighting potential new solutions and technological breakthroughs required to enable the future commercial success of photonic driven QT communication applications. 15:00 – 15:15 Polarisation Based Entanglement Distribution Quantum Networking Marcus Clark, University of Bristol
As quantum technology develops a method of interconnecting separated quantum system is required. For a resource efficient internet of quantum systems, this method needs to be use case agnostic. Here we present a scalable entanglement distribution quantum network functioning in the

telecommunications C-Band. We have achieved a network of 10 nodes, each simultaneously sharing entanglement with all other parties, preforming quantum key distribution continuously for 10.8 days with a weighted average secret key rate of 3.4 bps.
