Members of BYU's CamachoLab travelled to Tucson, Arizona from March 12-14th to participate in the yearly Center for Quantum Networks (CQN) retreat.

At the conference, researchers from across the country discussed novel developments in quantum networking technology, including entangled photon sources, quantum memories such as color centers and ion traps, and advances in quantum error correction and information processing.

Students from BYU presented on the development and fabrication of a photonic device called the "Green Machine" that can be used for quantum operations on light, on a digital twin simulator for quantum key distribution in imperfect environments, and on time domain simulation of quantum states of light.

Let to Right: Tyler Stowell, Benjamin Fisher, Matthew Worthington, and Chandler Parkin present their research at the CQN retreat.

The conference was mainly focused on technologies needed to build the first quantum network, and participants discussed the main challenges to realizing CQN's goal. Members of BYU's CamachoLab also networked and collaborated with researchers and professors from top level optics and photonics schools, kicking off new joint research efforts towards the eventual development of a quantum network.
