ANNOUNCEMENT

Two members selected for new R&D program on Photonic Integrated Circuits

As a benefit of membership, QED-C runs sponsored Research and Development (R&D) programs that are competitively awarded to its members. QED-C Technical Advisory Committees identify gaps and make recommendations—and sponsored R&D is one way that we address these gaps.

Most recently, we launched an R&D program on photonic integrated circuits (PICs). Congratulations to QED-C members, Freedom Photonics and memQ, who were selected by NIST to develop enabling capabilities that accelerate the quantum industry.

Members can learn more about the projects and technologies that are being developed at upcoming member meetings.
