In this sector, scientists create platforms for quantum computers. Here, theoretical and computational problems related to the design of individual quantum gates and medium- to large-scale linear optical systems are solved; methods for preparing and measuring quantum states of light are being developed.

In the Quantum Technology Centre, scientists continue experimental and theoretical studies of single-atom single-electron devices and are also engaged in the development and fabrication of nanoscale systems and devices.

The department consists of three laboratories specializing in integral, resonance, and reconfiguration nanophotonics.

There are two dedicated laboratories in our centre that deal with QKD: conventional fiber-based quantum cryptography and free-space quantum cryptography.
