Quantum Communications and Networking Group

Welcome to the Quantum Communications and Networking Group Page!

Our science is developing key technologies for realizing the future Quantum Internet and how it will impact science challenge for the DOE mission. Our research explores quantum phenomena in communications and quantum technology. Our experiments have showcased quantum key distribution for cybersecurity of the nation’s critical infrastructure, quantum signal co-exiatance over fiber channels and novel innovative inventions for optimized quantum sources, detectors and technologies. Our focus is on delivering quantum network applications that range from cybersecurity, quantum simulations and distributed quantum computation.

Our research experiments have allowed us to build our own Quantum Network Testbed into the longest (more than 300 kilometers) deployed “dark fiber” testbed for quantum networking in the national lab complex. The testbed supports 400-gigabit conventional data transfer speeds and dedicated channels within the lab's network.
