Abstract

We numerically show the generation of three-mode biphoton entanglement in silicon photonic topological superlattices. Our results show signatures of robustness to dis-order in the resulting entangled state, highlighting a route toward robust complex photonic entanglement.

Biphoton entanglement of topologically distinct modes

Cooper Doyle, Weiwei Zhang, Michelle Wang +3 more

The robust generation and manipulation of entangled multiphoton states on chip has an essential role in quantum computation and communication. Lattice topology has emerged as a means of protecting photonic states from disorder, but entanglement across different topologies remains unexplored. We report biphoton entanglement between topologically distinct spatial modes in a bipartite array of silicon waveguides. The results highlight topology as an additional degree of freedom for entanglement and open avenues for investigating information teleportation between trivial and topological modes.

High-dimensional topological photonic entanglement

M. Javad Zakeri, Armando Pérez-Leija, Andrea Blanco‐Redondo

The generation and manipulation of high-dimensional quantum states lies at the heart of modern quantum computation. The use of topology to resiliently encode and transport quantum information has been widely investigated in condensed matter and has recently penetrated quantum photonics. However, a route to scale up to a large number of entangled topological photonic modes has been missing. In this work, we demonstrate a method to generate high-dimensional topological photonic entanglement. Our platform relies on designed silicon photonic waveguide topological superlattices, which support nonlinear generation of energy-time-entangled photon pairs on a superposition of multiple topological modes. We show strong signatures of entanglement of up to five topological modes with resilience to nanofabrication imperfections, providing a route toward scalable, fault-tolerant quantum photonic states.

Topologically protected entangled photonic states

Michelle Wang, Cooper Doyle, Bryn A. Bell +5 more

Abstract Entangled multiphoton states lie at the heart of quantum information, computing, and communications. In recent years, topology has risen as a new avenue to robustly transport quantum states in the presence of fabrication defects, disorder, and other noise sources. Whereas topological protection of single photons and correlated photons has been recently demonstrated experimentally, the observation of topologically protected entangled states has thus far remained elusive. Here, we experimentally demonstrate the topological protection of spatially entangled biphoton states. We observe robustness in crucial features of the topological biphoton correlation map in the presence of deliberately introduced disorder in the silicon nanophotonic structure, in contrast with the lack of robustness in non‐topological structures. The topological protection is shown to ensure the coherent propagation of the entangled topological modes, which may lead to robust propagation of quantum information in disordered systems.

Topological quantum photonics

Andrea Blanco‐Redondo

The field of topological photonics leverages concepts from geometry and topology – the branch of mathematics that deals with global properties that cannot be changed under continuous deformation – to produce electromagnetic modes that propagate with immunity to certain types of disorder and imperfections. In the last few years, several experiments have achieved the generation and propagation of quantum states of light in these so-called topological modes, demonstrating enhanced robustness of such inherently fragile quantum states. In this talk we will focus on our recent results in this area including topological protection of spatial entanglement and the demonstration of topology as an additional degree of freedom for entanglement using CMOS-compatible silicon photonics platforms.
