The major aim of NQIT is to create a powerful quantum computing device by interconnecting many simple quantum processors that we have already demonstrated in our laboratories. To do this we need reliable interfaces at the single-quantum level to establish such a connected network. To do this, we harness the emission of light from non-moving quantum bits stored in single atoms.

Key tasks for work package 2 include: Atom-cavity coupled sources, Ion-cavity coupling demonstration, Integrated ion-cavity coupling with ion trap.
