Recent advances in quantum physics have given rise to cutting-edge fields such as quantum computing, quantum simulation, and quantum communication, driving the rapid development of quantum technologies. Our research team has strong experience with two complementary quantum platforms: laser-cooled trapped strontium ions and single photons generated by spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) in semiconductor chips. Using deep learning, we have recently designed a new source of such photons, whose pairs combine a photon at 1092 nm, matching a transition of the 88Sr+ ion, with a telecom photon at 1550 nm. This internship proposal is at the intersection of these two areas, with the goal of developing a hybrid quantum platform. The project addresses one of the key challenges in quantum communication networks: creating a seamless connection between static qubits (trapped ions) and flying qubits (single photons).
