Chicago-based startup memQ has demonstrated how quantum memory devices can be integrated into commercial silicon photonics foundry processes, marking a significant step toward scalable quantum networking. This article details how the company’s work combines quantum science, advanced materials and established manufacturing methods to accelerate progress in quantum technology.

Week-long program at MIT offers insights into the science, tools, and real-world applications driving next-generation integrated photonics technologies.

The U.S. Department of Defense is pursuing new sensor technologies that can monitor biological tissue health in real time to support regenerative medicine and domestic biomanufacturing. This article discusses the BIO INSPECT (Biological, Integrated, Novel, Silicon Photonics for Efficient Characterization and Testing) project led by AIM Photonics in collaboration with the Air Force Research Laboratory.

Working with AIM Photonics and Analog Photonics, Researchers from the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) have demonstrated a new method for integrating quantum dot lasers directly onto silicon photonics chiplets—a critical step toward scalable, cost-effective on-chip light sources. This article describes how the team combined innovative growth and packaging techniques to address the material mismatch that has made it difficult to integrate III-V semiconductor lasers with silicon photonics.
