Abstract

We present the first experimental demonstration of quantum entanglement distribution between silicon integrated photonic chips, linked by a single mode optical fiber. Entanglement states generation, transmission, manipulation and measurement are implemented intra/inter chips.

Entanglement distribution between integrated silicon photonic chips

Jianwei Wang, Damien Bonneau, Matteo Villa +12 more

We demonstrate high-fidelity distribution of entanglement across two integrated silicon photonic chips, by observing a violation of a Bell-type inequality of 2.638±0.039. Entanglement states are generated and measured on-chip, and coherently distributed between chips.

Chip-to-chip entanglement distribution over 80-km multicore fiber link

Damien Roux, Giulia Guarda, Mujtaba Zahidy +7 more

Long-range quantum entanglement is essential for building large-scale quantum networks and unconditionally secure cryptographic systems based on quantum key distribution (QKD). While photonic integrated circuits offer a highly scalable platform, the fragility of phase coherence between spatial modes has prevented the distribution of path-encoded entanglement over long distances. Here, we report chip-to-chip distribution of path-encoded entangled states over 80 km between fully integrated silicon photonic transmitter and receiver chips. Telecom-band entangled photon pairs are generated via spontaneous four-wave mixing in on-chip spiral waveguides and distributed between chips over a dual-core, actively stabilized fiber link. Upon distribution, we measure a Bell state fidelity of $85.7 \pm 0.2 \%$. Implementing the BBM92 protocol with the same source, we obtain a secure key rate of 2.03 bit/s in the infinite-key regime. These results establish silicon photonic chips as a viable platform for long-distance path-encoded entanglement-based quantum key distribution, paving the way toward scalable, device-independent quantum networks.

Chip-to-chip quantum photonic interconnect by path-polarization interconversion

Jianwei Wang, Damien Bonneau, Matteo Villa +12 more

Integrated photonics has enabled much progress towards quantum technologies. Many applications, including quantum communication, sensing, and distributed and cloud quantum computing, will require coherent photonic interconnection between separate chip-based sub-systems. Large-scale quantum computing systems and architectures may ultimately require quantum interconnects to enable scaling beyond the limits of a single wafer and towards "multi-chip" systems. However, coherently interconnecting separate chips is challenging due to the fragility of these quantum states and the demanding challenges of transmitting photons in at least two media within a single coherent system. Distribution and manipulation of qubit entanglement between multiple devices is one of the most stringent requirements of the interconnected system. Here, we report a quantum photonic interconnect demonstrating high-fidelity entanglement distribution and manipulation between two separate chips, implemented using state-of-the-art silicon photonics. Path-entangled states are generated and manipulated on-chip, and distributed between the chips by interconverting between path-encoding and polarisation-encoding. We use integrated state analysers to confirm a Bell-type violation of $S$=2.638+-0.039 between two chips. With improvements in loss, this quantum interconnect will provide new levels of flexible systems and architectures for quantum technologies.

We develop and demonstrate a silicon chip generating 460,000 entangled photon pairs per second with 97.90(3)% fidelity. The photons were transmitted over 155 km of deployed fiber (66 dB loss) and ultra-low-loss fiber spools (0.16 dB/km), achieving extended transmission distances.
