Photonic integrated circuits for quantum communication and computation

Abstract

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 Integrated Quantum Optics

Sébastien Tanzilli, Anthony Martin, Florian Kaiser +3 more

Abstract Applications of Integrated Optics to quantum sources, detectors, interfaces, memories and linear optical quantum computing 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.

Quantum Information Processing Using Active Silicon Photonic Integrated Circuits

Jacob Mower, Nicholas C. Harris, Gregory R. Steinbrecher +6 more

There has been a strong interest to translate optical quantum technologies into photonic integrated circuits (PICs) as they could provide a stable, compact, and potentially scalable architecture for generating, manipulating, and measuring optical quantum states. Among the various PIC technologies that are being developed, silicon-on-insulator (SOI) PICs have several advantages, including technologically mature foundry fabrication, CMOS-process integration, and high-performance switches, modulators, polarization control, filters, and other essential optical components. However, several components are missing that are needed for quantum information processing tasks. Here, we describe recent progress on augmenting SOI PICs with essential capabilities for photonic quantum technologies — entangled photon sources, single photon detectors, and reconfigurable linear optics unitary transformations — and focus on two central application areas: quantum communications and quantum simulation.

On-chip high-dimensional entangled photon sources

Tavshabad Kaur, Daniel Peace, Jacquiline Romero

Abstract High-dimensional quantum entanglement is an important resource for emerging quantum technologies such as quantum communication and quantum computation. The scalability of metres-long experimental setups limits high-dimensional entanglement in bulk optics. Advancements in quantum technology hinge on reproducible, and reconfigurable quantum devices—including photon sources, which are challenging to achieve in a scalable manner using bulk optics. Advances in nanotechnology and CMOS-compatible integration techniques have enabled the generation of entangled photons on millimeter-scale chips, significantly enhancing scalability, stability, replicability, and miniaturization for real-world quantum applications. In recent years we have seen several chip-scale demonstrations with different discrete degrees of freedom including path, frequency-bin, time-bin, and transverse modes, on many material platforms. A complete quantum photonic integrated circuit requires the generation, manipulation, and detection of quantum states, involving various active and passive quantum photonic components which further increase the degree of complexity. Here, we focus on the high-dimensional versions of qubits—qudits—and review the nonlinear optical processes that facilitate on-chip high-dimensional entangled photon sources, and the currently used material platforms. We discuss a range of current implementations of on-chip high-dimensional entangled photon sources and demonstrated applications. We comment on the current challenges due to the limitations of individual material platforms and present future opportunities in hybrid and heterogeneous integration strategies for the next generation of integrated quantum photonic chips.

Integrated nonlinear photonics

Jun Rong Ong

This chapter reviews the developments in the field of integrated nonlinear photonics. It discusses the use of silicon for integrated nonlinear photonics. The field of integrated photonics grew in parallel with the emergence of optical fiber communications and micro-electronics fabrication. This led to the development of active and passive devices such as diode lasers, optical modulators, and planar light wave circuits consisting of filters, couplers, and multiplexers. Integrated photonics technology has recently begun to impact the quantum optics community, forming a distinct area of research termed quantum photonics. With its capacity for complex large-scale on-chip photonic circuits, integrated quantum photonics has been suggested as a solution to the challenge of scaling increasingly complex quantum optical experiments and devices. Quantum information technologies that explicitly tap into the unique properties of quantum systems are predicted to greatly outperform their classical counterparts.
