Integrated Lithium Niobate Photonics for Quantum Technology

Cheng-Chung Chiu, Po-Hsiang Huang, Sheng-Hung Wang +5 more

Quantum photonics has advanced rapidly and become a leading approach for developing a broad range of quantum technologies, including quantum communications, quantum information processing, quantum computing, and quantum sensing. Besides, the emerging photonic integrated circuits (PIC) technology has been widely used to implement versatile optical elements advantageous for different quantum applications. For example, PIC-based devices have functioned as building blocks, such as photonic qubit sources, linear optical circuits, modulators, and even single-photon detectors, for realizing highly integrated, large-scale quantum computing schemes. In such a powerful quantum photonic integrated circuits (QPIC) scheme, the creation, manipulation, and testing of quantum entanglement states from the generated qubits via a reconfigurable photonic circuitry are essential. Though the state-of-the-art PIC technology is established based on Si photonics due to its widely mature nanophotonic circuit (waveguide) fabrication technology supported by the existing immense semiconductor industry, Si-based PIC has limitations in implementing efficient and fast active elements that usually demand a quadratic nonlinearity. Lithium niobate (LN), renowned as “the silicon of photonics”, has long been a popular material widely used in integrated-optical and nonlinear-optical applications. A great variety of passive and active photonic elements have been realized in the LN platform. Recently, a novel material based on high-quality single-crystalline films of LN, known as thin-film LN on insulator (LNOI), has been developed and has soon drawn enormous attention for its greatly promising ability to realize nanoscale PIC/QPIC in this iconic optical material platform. In this presentation, we report our recent studies on several key LN PIC building blocks for developing novel quantum photonic sources and circuits, including highly integrated photonic-circuit periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) chips for photon-pair generation and manipulation, for high-dimensional frequency-entangled qudit production, for time-frequency grid-state generation, for continuous-variable squeezed vacuum state generation, and their potential applications to quantum computing/communication/sensing technology. Besides, a PP-LNOI electro-optic (EO) polarization mode converter (PMC) useful for demonstrating fast control of quantum polarization states and other LNOI circuit elements as QPIC building blocks will also be presented.

Integrated waveguide circuits for optical quantum computing

Mark G. Thompson, Alberto Politi, Jonathan C. F. Matthews +1 more

Although practical realisation of a fully functioning quantum computer is still a long way off, recent progress both experimentally and theoretically is paving the way for possible implementations. One of the leading approaches is quantum optics, where photons are used as carriers of quantum information, and are manipulated in both linear and non-linear optical circuits. More recently, advances in integrated quantum photonics are enabling the realisation of compact and stable quantum gates and circuits. This approach provides routes to enhancing the complexity of quantum optic experiments, and ultimately towards the development of advanced quantum technologies. This study presents an overview of recent developments in the field of integrated waveguide quantum circuits. Key building blocks required for the realisation of quantum circuits are presented, and a rudimentary version of Shor's quantum factoring algorithm is demonstrated. Planar waveguide quantum circuits provide a high-performance platform from which quantum technologies and experimental quantum physics using single photons can be developed, and a new generation of quantum information and computing devices can be monolithically integrated onto a single optical chip.
