From late September to early November 2025, students of the Quantum Information Science (QIS) Science Master, a joint specialised programme between DTU and the University of Copenhagen, took part in the first laboratory course based on QPIC1550 chips as part of the Introduction to Quantum Information Science (IQIS) module.

Assistant Professor Caterina Vigliar and Senior Researcher Mujtaba Zahidy led this laboratory experience, offering master students an immersive, hands-on experience with integrated photonics. The course welcomed participants from diverse academic backgrounds, including experimental and theoretical physics, engineering, computer science, and mathematics, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of the QIS programme.

During the laboratory sessions, students worked with on‑chip photonic components from Ligentec’s SiN platform, giving them practical, hands‑on experience with integrated photonics. They generated and verified entangled Bell states using two photons and two qubits.
