According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Entangled Photon Source market size was valued at US$ 14.9 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 27 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 8.9% during review period.
An Entangled Photon Source is a device or system designed to generate pairs of photons that are quantum entangled. Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon in which the quantum states of two or more particles become intrinsically linked, such that the state of one particle cannot be described independently of the state of the other(s), even when the particles are separated by large distances. This property is a cornerstone of quantum mechanics and is essential for many applications in quantum technologies.
Entangled photon sources are a critical component in quantum technologies, enabling secure quantum communication, advanced quantum computing, and high-precision quantum sensing. These sources generate pairs of photons whose quantum states are intrinsically linked, regardless of the distance between them. This phenomenon, known as quantum entanglement, has revolutionized fields such as quantum cryptography, quantum teleportation, and fundamental tests of quantum mechanics. The market for entangled photon sources has gained substantial traction due to rapid advancements in quantum computing, increasing investments in quantum technology, and the growing need for ultra-secure communication systems. Governments, research institutions, and private enterprises are heavily investing in quantum technologies, fostering significant growth in the entangled photon source market.
The major global manufacturers of Entangled Photon Source include OZ Optics, Qubitekk, AUREA Technology, Qunnect, etc. the world's top three vendors accounted for approximately 61% of the revenue.
