Abstract

In this paper we propose various applications of guided wave optics to quantum optics experiments. As quantum optics moves on to multiparticle and multiport configurations, guided wave optics, incorporating both integrated optics and fiber optics, could provide a realistic means of constructing experiments and devices.

In this paper we propse various applications of guided wave optics to quantum optics experiments. An immediate application concerns entangled photon sources. Long term objectives will be mulitparticle (n>2) and multiport configurations, needed for quantum error-correction. We show how guided wave optics, incorporating both integrated optics and fiber optics, could provide a realistic means of constructing experiments and devices.

On the genesis and evolution of guided-wave quantum optics

Sébastien Tanzilli

Applications of integrated and guided-wave optics to quantum sources, detectors, interfaces, memories and linear optical quantum com- puting are described in this review. By their inherent compactness, efficiencies, and interconnectability, many of the demonstrated individual devices can clearly serve as building blocks for more complex quantum systems, that could also profit from the incorporation of other guided-wave technologies.

Integrated optical devices for quantum information applications

Christine Silberhorn, Benjamin Brecht, K. N. Cassemiro +5 more

Integrated optic devices - such as optical fibers, waveguides or linear optical circuits - offer distinct advantages for quantum information applications. The experimental setups get miniaturized, the spatial properties of generated quantum states are defined by the guiding geometries and networks are intrinsically stable. We present a toolbox for integrated quantum devices.

A fully guided-wave squeezing experiment for fiber quantum networks

Florian Kaiser, Bruno Fedrici, Alessandro Zavatta +2 more

We demonstrate, for the first time, the realization of an entirely guided-wave squeezing experiment at a telecom wavelength. The state generation relies on waveguide non-linear optics technology while squeezing collection and transmission are implemented by using only telecom fibre components. We observe up to $-1.83\pm0.05$ dB of squeezing emitted at 1542 nm in CW pumping regime. The compactness and stability of the experiment, compared to free-space configurations, represent a significant step towards achieving out-of-the-lab CV quantum communication, fully compatible with existing telecom fibre networks. We believe that this work stands as a promising approach for real applications as well as for "do-it-yourself" experiments

Discovery of quantum optics

Nikola Šibalić, Charles S. Adams

History of discovery of quantum optics, packed with experimental observations, ever more comprehensive theories and proposals narrowing down the quantum in optics. All enabled with a constant stream of technologies allowing new experiments, up to the present moment. A number of important cross-field idea transfers between radio wave technology and optical technology are also highlighted.

We demonstrate, for the first time, the realization of an entirely guided-wave squeezing experiment at a telecom wavelength. The state generation relies on waveguide non-linear optics technology while squeezing collection and transmission are implemented by using only telecom fibre components. We observe up to −1.83±0.05-1.83\pm0.05−1.83±0.05 dB of squeezing emitted at 1542 nm in CW pumping regime. The compactness and stability of the experiment, compared to free-space configurations, represent a significant step towards achieving out-of-the-lab CV quantum communication, fully compatible with existing telecom fibre networks.
