Abstract

We develop a feedback control technique for single photon sources based on microring resonators. We implement our protocol on a silicon photonic device, and demonstrate feedback controlled quantum state engineering.

Scalable feedback control of single photon sources for photonic quantum technologies

Jacques Carolan, Uttara Chakraborty, Nicholas C. Harris +4 more

Large-scale quantum technologies require exquisite control over many individual quantum systems. Typically, such systems are very sensitive to environmental fluctuations, and diagnosing errors via measurements causes unavoidable perturbations. In this work we present an in situ frequency locking technique that monitors and corrects frequency variations in single photon sources based on microring resonators. By using the same classical laser fields required for photon generation as a probe to diagnose variations in the resonator frequency, our protocol applies feedback control to correct photon frequency errors in parallel to the optical quantum computation without disturbing the physical qubit. We implement our technique on a silicon photonic device and demonstrate sub 1 pm frequency stabilization in the presence of applied environmental noise, corresponding to a fractional frequency drift of <1 % of a photon linewidth. Using these methods we demonstrate feedback controlled quantum state engineering. By distributing a single local oscillator across a single chip or network of chips, our approach enables frequency locking of many single photon sources for large-scale photonic quantum technologies.

I will present an overview of progress we have made in the area of scalable photonic quantum state engineering via measurement induced nonlinearities in circuits built from linearly coupled microring resonators. We are especially interested in the reliable generation of highly entangled states using techniques suitable for integration into optical quantum information processing and sensing systems.

Entanglement measurement of a coupled silicon microring photon pair source

Ranjeet Kumar, Marc Savanier, Jun Rong Ong +1 more

Using two-photon (Franson) interferometry, we measure the entanglement of photon pairs generated from an optically-pumped silicon photonic device consisting of a few coupled microring resonators. The pair-source chip operates at room temperature, and the InGaAs single-photon avalanche detectors (SPADs) are thermo-electrically cooled to 234K. Such a device can be integrated with other components for practical entangled photon-pair generation at telecommunications wavelengths.
