Quantum metasurfaces at Photon 2026

September 2026 🔬: Dr Adetunmise Dada presented “Secure Quantum Metasurfaces for Direct Quantum Key Distribution Measurements” at Photon 2026 in Newcastle on 4 September.

The talk formed part of the Nanophotonics & Nanoscale Quantum Optics session and presented work with Yan He on dielectric metasurfaces designed to implement quantum key distribution measurements within a single optical surface. The research uses numerical modelling to explore compact, passive quantum communication receivers.

A preprint is now available: Secure Quantum Metasurfaces for Direct Quantum Key Distribution Measurements (submitted 19 September 2026).
