Integrated silicon photonics chip fabricated by CMOS compatible technology for low-bit-error-rate quantum key distribution

Abstract Quantum communication has extremely high security and is a development direction of future communication networks. In this paper, an on-chip path, off-chip polarization encoded quantum key distribution (QKD) chip is designed and fabricated using advanced silicon photonics fabrication technology. Using a special two-dimensional grating, we can convert light of different path states into corresponding polarization states and propagate in fiber. The performance of the basic optics, waveguides, gratings, and Mach–Zehnder interferometers on the chip is characterized. In the demonstrated QKD experiment, the quantum bit error rate is as low as 1.08%. It provides an important device for the future development of advanced integrated quantum information.

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) provides a provably secure approach to share keys used to encrypt secret information by transmitting single photons [1] . This is one of the first commercial quantum technologies available, and Bristol is heavily involved in UK Quantum Communications Hub to develop a chip-based approach and integrate them in our 5G-UK network testbed.

Advances in Chip-Based Quantum Key Distribution

Quantum key distribution (QKD), guaranteed by the principles of quantum mechanics, is one of the most promising solutions for the future of secure communication. Integrated quantum photonics provides a stable, compact, and robust platform for the implementation of complex photonic circuits amenable to mass manufacture, and also allows for the generation, detection, and processing of quantum states of light at a growing system's scale, functionality, and complexity. Integrated quantum photonics provides a compelling technology for the integration of QKD systems. In this review, we summarize the advances in integrated QKD systems, including integrated photon sources, detectors, and encoding and decoding components for QKD implements. Complete demonstrations of various QKD schemes based on integrated photonic chips are also discussed.
