Overview
Quantum systems and the emerging, underlying technologies are maturing rapidly and proof-of-concept system-level capabilities are a reality.
Engineering proof-of-concept for communication privacy applications, such as the Raytheon BBN quantum network, and commercial systems for quantum key distribution are available now.
Quantum systems not only take sensing, communication, and processing “faster and farther,” they fundamentally change information processing and transmission, enabling new applications and privacy paradigms. Tangible benefits to important communications, sensing and processing systems are on the horizon.
Raytheon BBN is developing complete, vertically integrated, next generation communication, sensing, and computation systems, from the physical layer to applications, using new quantum, superconducting, and optical technologies.
Our scientists are an interdisciplinary team of physicists, mathematicians, information theorists, and systems engineers with expertise in superconducting quantum circuits, quantum memory physics, quantum and classical information theory, and classical optical networking. We can provide fully integrated, practical systems that solve real problems
Our research is on the leading edge of quantum and optical phenomena and information science. You can find a selected list of our publications as well as note our strong collaboration with other leaders in the community here.
