Abstract

Arrays of 21 evanescently coupled waveguides are fabricated to implement quantum random walks and a generalised form of two-photon non-classical interference, which observed via two photon correlation.

Generation and shaping of photon pairs in nonlinear waveguide arrays

Andrey A. Sukhorukov

As quantum optics grows and develops, new sophisticated optical schemes require an increasing number of optical elements. Integrated photonic circuits have the capacity to provide a solution to this challenge, as they are intrinsically scalable and interferometrically stable. Integrated realization of multi-photon entanglement, quantum factoring algorithms, and polarization entanglement has already been demonstrated. One of particularly interesting structures in integrated photonics is the waveguide array, which enables flexible shaping of optical beam and pulses in space. Recently waveguide arrays have been shown to generate unusual and strongly non-classical spatial correlations of photon pairs propagating in the regime of quantum walks [1].
