Recent advances in quantum communications

Abstract

Over the last several years there have been significant advances in quantum optoelectronics. We focus on a number of these advances based on such quantum effects as nonclassical states of light, quantum nondemolition detection, modification of spontaneous emission characteristics, and resonant tunneling. These quantum effects have communication device applications in addition to multiple quantum well lasers including the possibility of zero threshold lasers, efficient photon number detection, and quantum effect logic gates.

Recent advances on integrated quantum communications

Adeline Orieux, Eleni Diamanti

Abstract In recent years, the use of integrated technologies for applications in the field of quantum information processing and communications has made great progress. The resulting devices feature valuable characteristics such as scalability, reproducibility, low cost and interconnectivity, and have the potential to revolutionize our computation and communication practices in the future, much in the way that electronic integrated circuits have drastically transformed our information processing capacities since the last century. Among the multiple applications of integrated quantum technologies, this review will focus on typical components of quantum communication systems and on overall integrated system operation characteristics. We are interested in particular in the use of photonic integration platforms for developing devices necessary in quantum communications, including sources, detectors and both passive and active optical elements. We also illustrate the challenges associated with performing quantum communications on chip, by using the case study of quantum key distribution—the most advanced application of quantum information science. We conclude with promising perspectives in this field.

Quantum-optical influences in optoelectronics—An introduction

Weng W. Chow, Stephan Reitzenstein

This focused review discusses the increasing importance of quantum optics in the physics and engineering of optoelectronic components. Two influences relating to cavity quantum electrodynamics are presented. One involves the development of low threshold lasers, when the channeling of spontaneous emission into the lasing mode becomes so efficient that the concept of lasing needs revisiting. The second involves the quieting of photon statistics to produce single-photon sources for applications such as quantum information processing. An experimental platform, consisting of quantum-dot gain media inside micro- and nanocavities, is used to illustrate these influences of the quantum mechanical aspect of radiation. An overview is also given on cavity quantum electrodynamics models that may be applied to analyze experiments or design devices.

B1 In As quantum dots: artificial atoms for solid-state quantum optics

J.H Davies, A.R Long

Though QD arrays have initially been mostly studied in an attempt to improve semiconductor lasers, much attention has been recently devoted to the revolutionary prospects opened by the unique properties of single QDs. These artificial atoms allow to mimic in solid-state systems some of the quantum optics experiments performed on atoms since the early 80’s. Recent demonstrations of coherent control experiments on QDs illustrate this fruitful analogy [10]. We will focus here our discussion on the impact of QDs on two other fields, solid-state cavity quantum electrodynamics (CQED) and the generation of quantum states of light. A single QD can be used to emit triggered single photon pulses and photon pairs, whereas its narrow emission spectrum permits to implement microcavities very efficiently to tailor its emission properties. By combining both kind of effects, it is possible to control simultaneously the number of emitted photons as well as their quantum state and to build a solid-state singlemode source of single photons (singlemode S4P) as proposed [11] and demonstrated recently by our group [12]. This novel device represents the ultimate step in a field which has been extremely active in the last 15 years, spontaneous emission (SE) control in optoelectronic devices using confined electronic and/or photonic systems [13]. Before reviewing the development of this single mode S4P, based on a single QD in a pillar microcavity, we will briefly discuss its potential applications in the field of quantum information processing and quantum communications (QIPC).
