Abstract

Quantum interference between indistinguishable photons are important for a broad range of applications in quantum communication and linear optical quantum computing. We demonstrate two-photon interference from chip-integrated quantum emitters, enabling scalable solid-state quantum photonic devices.

Scalable integration of quantum emitters into photonic integrated circuits

Marc Sartison, Oscar Camacho Ibarra, Ioannis Caltzidis +2 more

Abstract Scaling up photonic quantum devices to reach complexities allowing to solve real-world problems requires a platform enabling scalable integration of solid-state quantum emitter with a high yield. Their nanometer-size together with their excellent quantum optical properties make them the ideal candidates for on-chip photonic quantum technologies. However, robust, scalable integration remains elusive. Here, we discuss the state-of-the-art methods to integrate quantum emitters into photonic integrated circuits, emphasizing the pros and cons of the integration methods applicable for specific quantum emitters. Based on our thorough comparison we give our perspective on the most promising approaches and how to overcome the remaining challenges.

Scalable Quantum Interference from Indistinguishable Quantum Dots

Sheena Shaji, Suraj Goel, Julian Wiercinski +7 more

Quantum interference of indistinguishable photons is the foundation of photonic quantum technologies, yet scaling from a few to many identical quantum light sources remains a major challenge. In solid-state platforms, spatial and spectral inhomogeneity and resource-intensive architectures impede scaling. As a result, interference between remote, independent quantum emitters has been thus far limited to pairs. Here we introduce a wavefront-shaping approach that enables scalable interference from multiple indistinguishable quantum dots on the same chip. Using programmable spatial light modulators, we independently excite, collect, and route emission from spatially distinct, yet spectrally degenerate dots. Scaling from two to five indistinguishable emitters, we verify interference through cooperative-emission phenomena and Hong-Ou-Mandel two-photon interference, thereby establishing a route towards large-scale, programmable quantum photonic architectures.

Multi-emitter solid state quantum optics

Abstract Photonic quantum science—which harnesses light-matter interactions down to the single photon level—provides advanced light sources for quantum sensing, communication, and computing. Integrating solid-state light sources on a photonic chip provides a means of creating scalable on-chip quantum networks with sophisticated optoelectronic circuitry. Extending beyond single emitters to multi-emitter systems is a frontier that offers substantial opportunities for fundamental scientific advances as well as applications that require multi-emitter quantum states. A key challenge in this endeavor is the spectral inhomogeneity of solid-state emitters, which results in non-identical emitters that cannot be interfaced with one another. This review describes recent advances in tailoring the emission properties of individual emitters and the multi-emitter demonstrations that are enabled by this control for a variety of prominent materials, as well as prospects for further development.

Hybrid Integration of Solid-State Quantum Emitters with a Silicon Chip

Je‐Hyung Kim, Shahriar Aghaeimeibodi, Christopher J. K. Richardson +3 more

Efficient generation and control of quantum light on a chip is very important to achieve scalable quantum photonic systems. Solid-state quantum emitters can generate single photons with high efficiency, while silicon photonic circuits can manipulate them in an integrated device structure. Combining these two material platforms, therefore, enable us to utilize the advantages of both systems and make feasible integrated quantum photonic devices. We demonstrate hybrid integration of solid-state quantum dots to a silicon photonic device by using a pick-and-place technique and perform Hanbury-Brown and Twiss experiments on the silicon chip with integrated quantum emitters.

Independent Operation of Two Waveguide-Integrated Quantum Emitters

Camille Papon, Yujing Wang, Ravitej Uppu +5 more

Scaling up single-photon sources directly on a chip is a fundamental requirement for realizing quantum information protocols that demand scalable, integrated photonic qubits. Integrating multiple quantum emitters in a circuit has encountered major roadblocks in wavelength disparity and the lack of a compact excitation method. The authors demonstrate simultaneous excitation of two quantum dots in the same circuit and independent control of the emitters' wavelengths, enabling two-photon quantum interference. Spectral diffusion is not as detrimental to the interference process as anticipated. These results address a longstanding challenge in quantum photonics.
