Project

Concept and approach

CLUSTEC envisions a radically new path for scalable quantum computing and quantum networking based on CV cluster state protocols, concepts and technologies.

Three strategic pillars

CLUSTEC will generate tailored CV cluster states, utilizing advanced technologies such as high-efficiency fiber optics and the promising Lithium-Niobate-on-Insulator (LNoI) platform for photonics-integrated circuits (PIC). These cluster states, comprising thousands or even millions of nodes, will be manipulated with deterministic precision. Our research will delve deeply into the scalability, fault-tolerance, and universality of these platforms. Through theoretical analyses and experimental investigations, we aim to explore measurement-induced CV quantum computing and networking models.
