Optoelectronic Devices for Quantum Information Processing

Hai‐Zhi Song, Qiang Zhou, Guangwei Deng +3 more

The recent developments of optoelectronics do promote the progress in many other fields. For quantum information processing, we made efforts in manufacturing quantum devices by using optoelectronic techniques. We designed quantum dot embedded nanocavities to serve as efficient quantum emitters; using spectral multiplexing technique, we fabricated a heralded single-photon source, emitting highly pure and speedy single photons; and defects in GaN were observed serving as room temperature quantum random number generators. An entangled photon emitter with visibility of 97% was developed using cascaded second-order nonlinear optical process in PPLN waveguides; and Si3N4 microrings were effectively applied to establish photon entanglers. Readout circuits were optimized to fabricate specific single-photon avalanche detectors, and telecomm-band single-photon avalanche detectors have been improved to 128 × 32 arrays for quantum imaging. A multiplexed quantum memory was explored to simultaneously store 1650 single photons. Opto-electro-mechanical devices were studied or fabricated in order to measure minor quantities in quantum level. These works may shed light on quantum information technology for the future.

Integrated optoelectronic chip technologies for quantum information processing

Lantian Feng, Kun Wang, Linrunde Tao +12 more

Abstract In photonic quantum information processing, the generation, manipulation, and detection of photonic quantum states inherently depend on electronic control devices. As a core enabling technology, on-chip optoelectronic hybrid integration drives optical quantum devices toward higher density, lower power consumption, and enhanced stability while pushing the application and performance limits of quantum information processing. This review summarizes the progress in chip-integrated optoelectronic technologies and their applications in key quantum information scenarios-quantum communication, quantum photonic source engineering, optical frequency conversion, and linear optical quantum information processing. We also discuss key challenges and future directions, envisioning optoelectronic integration as the pivotal bridge from lab demonstrations to practical, scalable quantum photonic systems.

Optical approaches to quantum information processing

Gerard J Milburn

Quantum computers are expected to increase the efficiency of solving problems such as factoring large integers. However an experimental implementation of even relatively simple quantum information processing with a few to a dozen qubits presents an enormous technological challenge. One of the earliest proposals for quantum computation is based on implementing a quantum bit with two optical modes containing one photon[1]. The proposal is appealing due to the ease with which photon interference can be observed. However these early proposals required huge single photon optical nonlinearities. Unfortunately currently available optical nonlinearities are too weak and too noisy to be useful.

Scalable Quantum Reversible BCD Adder Architectures with Enhanced Speed and Reduced Quantum Cost for Next-Generation Computing

Negin Mashayekhi, Mohammad Reza Reshadinezhad, Antonio Rubio +1 more

The quantum and reversible paradigm merges the principles of quantum mechanics and reversible computation to enable information-preserving processing. It supports next-generation computing architectures that provide improved scalability and enhanced computational efficiency. Within these architectures, the decimal adder is a key arithmetic component, particularly for Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) operations widely used in financial and commercial systems. However, most reversible BCD adders focus primarily on quantum and reversible metrics, overlooking the critical influence of delay, which makes balanced optimization a significant challenge. This paper presents two reversible BCD adder designs optimized for both delay and quantum cost. One design integrates the decimal carry-skip technique to improve the overall delay. Using reversible logic gates, the proposed architectures efficiently perform BCD addition and implement the required correction logic while maintaining full reversibility. Evaluation results indicate that the proposed designs surpass existing reversible BCD adders, achieving best-case average improvements of 85.12% in delay and 30.75% in quantum cost. These advancements demonstrate the potential of the proposed adders for integration into future quantum-based arithmetic units and scalable reversible computing systems. Moreover, analysis of real banking transaction data underscores the practical importance of BCD addition and its widespread use in accurate and efficient monetary computations.
