Photonic quantum technologies: from integrated quantum devices to designing scalable complex systems

Christine Silberhorn

Quantum technologies promise a change of paradigm for many fields of application, for example in communication systems, in high-performance computing and simulation of quantum systems, as well as in sensor technology. However, the experimental realization of suitable system still poses considerable challenges. Current efforts in photonic quantum science target the implementation of practical devices and scalable systems, where the realization of quantum devices and controlled quantum network structures is key for envisioned future technologies. Here we present our progress on the engineering of integrated photonic systems, which can overcome current limitations for the realization of scalable photonic systems. Specifically, our research currently focuses on three different but complementary topics: integrated devices based on lithium niobate circuits, engineering and harnessing the temporal-spectral structure of quantum states of light, and photonic quantum computation.

Integrated multi-wavelength photonic routing architectures for scalable trapped ion quantum devices

Alto Osada, Koichiro Miyanishi

Recent advances in quantum technologies rely on precise control and integration of quantum objects, and technological breakthroughs are anticipated for further scaling up to realize practical applications. Trapped-ion quantum technology is a promising candidate to realize them, while its scalability depends on the development of intra-node scaling up, reproducibility of quantum nodes, and photonic interconnection among them. Utilization of integrated photonics instead of free-space optics is a crucial step toward mass production of trapped-ion quantum nodes and manifests itself as useful for laser delivery for various quantum operations and photon detection. However, the whole architecture of the scalable photonic circuits for them is left unexplored. In this work, we discuss photonic routing architectures for trapped-ion quantum devices, in which lasers of multiple wavelengths are delivered to multiple trapping zones within a single chip. We analyze two methods of configuring nanophotonic waveguides and compare them in terms of loss of total laser power. This work opens up a new landscape of photonic architecture for trapped-ion quantum technologies, which broadens the scope of integrated photonics for quantum technologies.
