Overview
Quantum photonic technologies are driving advances in secure communication, quantum computing, and fundamental physics research.
This webinar will demonstrate how Ansys Lumerical can simulate the complete quantum photonic workflow – from nonlinear photon-pair generation to circuit-level demonstrations and quantum key distribution (QKD). By combining device-level nonlinear optics simulations with circuit-level simulations, attendees will see how Ansys Lumerical supports the design and simulation of next-generation quantum photonic systems.
We will showcase:
- Realistic photon source modeling through SPDC and SFWM processes
- The nonlinear sign (NLS) gate, a key building block of photonic quantum computing
- Unitary quantum circuit generation
- Hong–Ou–Mandel interference
- Continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD)
What Attendees Will Learn
- Understand how to model SPDC and SFWM sources for entangled photon generation
- Learn how to build and simulate photonic quantum gates and circuits in Lumerical
- Explore multiphoton interference phenomena such as Hong-Ou-Mandel effects
- Gain insights into simulating continuous-variable QKD protocols
Who Should Attend and Why
- Quantum optics and quantum information researchers
- Photonic integrated circuit (PIC) designers and engineers
- Professionals in quantum communication and QKD development
- Graduate students and postdocs working in nonlinear optics and quantum photonics
