The Phase 2 project is developing the prototype for a Full-spectrum Rydberg quantum receiver for long-range object detection and classification.

Beyond the PLOB Bound: Multimode Quantum Networks for Sensing and Metrology$332Kvalue2026start2029end

The Project aims to overcome fundamental limits in quantum communication and establish Canada as a leader in quantum networking. Today’s systems are restricted by photon loss in fibers, where the so-called PLOB bound sets the ultimate limit for secure direct communication. The project team’s approach introduces a multimode, cavity QED-based repeater architecture with chiral light-matter coupling. This enables highly efficient entanglement distribution, directional photon interactions, and multiplexed quantum memory. These advances are expected to surpass the PLOB bound by 3–5 dB over metropoli
