Quantum photonics in silicon carbide microresonators: multimode and multi-emitter correlations

Daniil M. Lukin, Melissa A. Guidry

Silicon carbide as a host material uniquely combines CMOS compatible photonics with high-quality optically interfaced qubits and strong optical nonlinearities. In this talk, I will discuss the use of silicon carbide microresonators to explore multimode correlations built through spontaneous pair generation via the optical nonlinearity as well as all-to-all coupling of quantum emitters. I will discuss opportunities to use inverse design and as well as classical cavity design methods for engineering these correlations.

Integrated Quantum Photonics with Silicon Carbide: Challenges and Prospects

Daniil M. Lukin, Melissa A. Guidry, Jelena Vuckovic A

Optically addressable solid-state spin defects are promising candidates for storing and manipulating quantum information using their long coherence ground-state manifold; individual defects can be entangled using photon-photon interactions, offering a path toward large-scale quantum photonic networks.Quantum computing protocols place strict limits on the acceptable photon losses in the system.These lowloss requirements cannot be achieved without photonic engineering, but are attainable if combined with state-of-the-art nanophotonic technologies.However, most materials that host spin defects are challenging to process: as a result, the performance of quantum photonic devices is orders of magnitude behind that of their classical counterparts.Silicon carbide (SiC) is well suited to bridge the classical-quantum photonics gap, since it hosts promising optically addressable spin defects and can be processed into SiC-on-insulator for scalable, integrated photonics.In this paper, we discuss recent progress toward the development of scalable quantum photonic technologies based on solid-state spins in silicon carbide, and discuss current challenges and future directions.

Quantum networks based on solid-state spin defects present a transformative approach to secure communication and distributed quantum computing, utilizing quantum entanglement and coherent spin–photon interfaces. Silicon carbide (SiC) stands out as a compelling material platform due to its unique combination of a wide bandgap, high optical nonlinearity, CMOS-compatible fabrication, and controllable spin-active defects. These intrinsic properties facilitate efficient photon emission, robust spin coherence at both room and cryogenic temperatures, and integration with photonic nanostructures. Recent advancements in defect engineering and micro-nanophotonics have unlocked the potential of SiC quantum nodes, which feature electron-nuclear spin systems for high-fidelity quantum operations and long-lived quantum memories. Key steps such as single-shot readout and spin-photon entanglement have been successfully demonstrated, bringing SiC closer to a real quantum network platform. This review offers a comprehensive overview of the advancements in SiC-based quantum networks, encompassing key aspects such as defect fabrication methodologies, optimization of spin-photon interfaces, and strategies for photonic integration. Additionally, it examines the existing challenges and outlines promising future directions in this rapidly evolving field.
