Abstract

By using an on-chip unbalanced interferometer for densely-spaced time-bin state preparation/processing and a spiral waveguide for photon-pair generation, we demonstrate and implement high-quality densely-spaced time-entangled two-photon qubits.

We demonstrate the on-chip generation of time-bin entangled two- and multi-photon qubit states, as well as high-dimensional frequency-entangled photon pairs. Combining time and frequency entanglement, we generate high-dimensional optical cluster states and implement proof-of-concept high-dimensional one-way quantum computing. This, by using standard, fiber-based telecommunication components.
