Summary

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued a Sources Sought Notice for an Entangled Photon Source, aimed at identifying potential vendors capable of supplying a specialized system for quantum networking applications. This opportunity is particularly relevant for businesses engaged in advanced photonics and quantum technology, as the required system must produce polarization entangled photon pairs using a rubidium vapor cell, with specific performance metrics including the generation of at least 5 million entangled photon pairs per second. Contractors interested in this opportunity should have expertise in quantum optics and the ability to deliver a fully operational system, including installation and testing services, to the NIST facility in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
