Overview

Quantum photonic technologies are driving advances in secure communication, quantum computing, and fundamental physics research.

This webinar will demonstrate how Ansys Lumerical can simulate the complete quantum photonic workflow – from nonlinear photon-pair generation to circuit-level demonstrations and quantum key distribution (QKD). By combining device-level nonlinear optics simulations with circuit-level simulations, attendees will see how Ansys Lumerical supports the design and simulation of next-generation quantum photonic systems.

We will showcase:

Realistic photon source modeling through SPDC and SFWM processes
The nonlinear sign (NLS) gate, a key building block of photonic quantum computing
Unitary quantum circuit generation
Hong–Ou–Mandel interference
Continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD)

What Attendees Will Learn

Understand how to model SPDC and SFWM sources for entangled photon generation
Learn how to build and simulate photonic quantum gates and circuits in Lumerical
Explore multiphoton interference phenomena such as Hong-Ou-Mandel effects
Gain insights into simulating continuous-variable QKD protocols

Who Should Attend and Why

Quantum optics and quantum information researchers
Photonic integrated circuit (PIC) designers and engineers
Professionals in quantum communication and QKD development
Graduate students and postdocs working in nonlinear optics and quantum photonics
