Yesterday, the LaiQa consortium successfully held its Interim Review Meeting (Reporting Period 1) online, bringing together all partners and the European Commission reviewers.

During the session, we presented the progress achieved so far in developing LaiQa’s polarization-based Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) PIC-based EPPS, highlighting key technical achievements, ongoing research, and our dissemination and communication activities.

The discussion also focused on upcoming milestones and how LaiQa’s results will contribute to the broader field of quantum communication.

A warm thank you to our project partners for their hard work and dedication, and to the reviewers for their valuable feedback and guidance. With this momentum, we are excited to continue advancing LaiQa’s vision of pushing the boundaries of photonic integration for next-generation quantum technologies.
