Raytheon BBN Technologies maintains its Laboratory for Bits and Waves to exploit quantum, optical and super-conducting phenomena for achieving revolutionary breakthroughs in computation and communication systems. The Laboratory comprises two research areas, which support our ongoing research in superconducting systems technologies and photonic systems technologies.
 |
- Our photonics systems research area comprises 1100 square feet divided into three bays, each with an optics table and supportingequipment. This laboratory area is devoted to experimental investigation of nonlinear and quantum optical phenomena, quantum communications, and quantum sensing. One bay is dedicated to maintaining the DARPA Quantum Network the first metropolitan-scale network employing quantum key distribution for secure communications. Also, this area is home to the monitor and control station for our six-node free-space optical network distributed across our Raytheon BBN Technologies campus.

 |
- Our superconducting research area comprises over 1100 sq. ft. and includes a 20mKcapable dilution refrigerator and two 2K cryo-coolers. Our 10mk refrigerator is capable of supporting solid state quantum computing experiments and contains over 2 dozen optical and high-speed lines. In this area, we focus on exploiting superconducting phenomena for novel techniques in both quantum and classical computing and communication.
