Abstract

Nanophotonics is enabling for photonic quantum technologies, providing means to effectively control light-matter interactions on chip. This talk will describe the use of nanophotonics for the creation of efficient and versatile chip-based quantum light sources.

Coherent quantum nanophotonics: challenges and opportunities

Nir Rotenberg

By embedding quantum emitters, such as quantum dots, within nanophotonic structures we have gained unprecendented control over their properties and over the photons with which they interact. Yet this control comes at a price, namely the unwanted interaction of the emitters with the noisy solid-state environment of the photonic circuits. In this talk, I will address different ways in which we attempt to address this challenge, focusing on the resultant increased coherence of quantum light-matter interactions. I will show how these improvements allow us to route photons on integrated chips and begin to use nonlinear scattering events to reshape photon wavefunctions. In this discussion, the way that these capabilities may lead to novel quantum technologies will be highlighted.

Nanophotonics and quantum optics

Mario Agio

The performances of photonic devices are getting closer to those required by quantum technology and a bridge may be created by substantial progress in our ability to control light-matter interactions. The dramatic advances of nanotechnology experienced in recent years have enabled us to fabricate optical nanostructures that greatly improve the conversion of localized electromagnetic energy into radiation and vice versa. We discuss how these may enable the implementation of novel light-matter interfaces for investigating and harnessing quantum optical effects and explain how unprecedented interaction regimes can be achieved.

Exploring the properties of quantum nanophotonics for next-generation quantum information processing

Chetan Kumar Dodderi Shankarappa, Begari Vijayakrishna, Vandna Kumari +3 more

Modern quantum nanophotonics is revealed as the unique synergy between the quantum world and nanophotonics providing us with novel ways of controlling the quantum states of light, and enabling novel routes towards the realisation of future generation’s quantum information processing (QIP) systems. Focusing on the quantum photon-matter interaction, nano-confined light, nano-optical quantum interference and the control of linear and nonlinear quantum phenomena at the nanoscale in terms of the quantum superposition and entanglement, we provide a fundamental description of nano-photonic quantum systems. In particular, deep discussions on the outstanding characteristics of nano-structured photonic circuits are essential to understand the strong light-matter coupling, capable of boosting the coherence times and the processing efficiency of qubits, i.e., the basic building blocks of quantum computing. Furthermore, a progressive approach dealing with the QIP functionalities within concepts of quantum communication networks and powerful quantum computational architectures is provided, motivating an empirical hunt for efficient QIP approaches. Positive perspectives are given on the potential implications of modern quantum nanophotonics to the theoretical frameworks of the field.

Deterministic coupling of ultracold atomic lattice to a suspended photonic waveguide

J. T. Hansen, F. Gargiulo, J. B. Mathiassen +3 more

The deterministic control of light-matter interactions at the level of single particles and on subwavelength scales is central to quantum optics and hybrid integrated quantum technologies. However, combining cold atom research with nanophotonic devices in a fully controllable platform remains a major experimental challenge. Here, we demonstrate the deterministic coupling of an ultracold atomic lattice to light propagating in suspended on-chip photonic circuits. These capabilities open avenues to address scalability challenges in neutral-atom quantum computers and simulators, enabling fast optical readout, efficient and subwavelength non-diffracting interaction zones, and genuine compatibility with integrated solid-state photon sources, detectors, and stop-band modulators. Beyond controllable quantum matter, the platform also enables in-situ imaging of evanescent fields of light and nanoscale structures, including prospects for three-dimensional scanning microscopy with non-invasive single-atom probes for quantum sensing applications.
