Abstract

The Networked Quantum Information Technologies hub (NQIT) is one of the quantum hubs of the UK's flagship scheme, bringing together academia, industry and government. The Optical Engineering and Quantum Pho- tonics group at the University of Southampton's Optoelectronics Research Centre have developed an interactive demonstrator of a key device within NQIT to bring quantum photonics technologies to a wider audience. The system was exhibited at the 2017 UK Quantum Showcase in London to an audience of industry and government. It also featured as part of the Quantum City stand at the 2018 Cheltenham science festival, one of the UK's leading annual science events.
