Abstract

The Networked Quantum Information Technologies (NQIT) hub was one of the quantum hubs of the first round of the United Kingdom's flagship scheme, bringing together academia, industry, and government. The Optical Engineering and Quantum Photonics Group at the University of Southampton's Optoelectronics Research Centre has 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 United Kingdom's leading annual science events.
