Deterministic integration on V-groove fiber arrays for multichannel quantum photonic platforms

Woong Bae Jeon, Dong Hyun Park, Jong Sung Moon +3 more

Scalable, reliable single-photon sources are essential for quantum photonic technologies. In particular, a fiber-based platform is desirable form for practical single-photon devices. Although recent advances with solid-state quantum emitters on fiber platforms have enabled the generation of single photons with high-performance, the reliable, scalable implementation of multiple sources on the compact fiber platform remains challenging. Here, we present a multiple, tunable array of quantum photonic devices in the fiber-based platform. We developed the selective integration for multiple quantum dot devices, and implemented multi-channel single-photon device based on a V-groove fiber platform. The device offers scalability, tunability, high fabrication yield, and high single-photon coupling efficiency. Therefore, this fiber-integrated quantum platform provides a scalable and reliable multichannel single-photon source.

Heralded quantum interference in integrated lithium niobate nanophotonics

Tristan Kuttner, Alessandra Sabatti, Jost Kellner +2 more

Photonics has emerged as one of the leading platforms for the implementation of real-world-applicable quantum technologies, enabling secure communication, enhanced sensing capabilities, as well as resolving previously intractable computational challenges. However, to harness the full potential of the photonics platform, several engineering feats need to be accomplished; among those is the quest for a scalable source of pure single photons. While single photon sources can be implemented in a variety of different ways, integrated lithium niobate stands out as a prime contender for a monolithic quantum photonics platform, given its second-order nonlinearity and proven classical scalability. Despite the extensive effort put into developing the platform, integrating suitable photon pair sources remains a hurdle limiting the scalability of quantum photonic systems in lithium niobate. We engineer three-wave-mixing in a nanophotonic lithium niobate device, integrating multiple near-perfect spectrally separable heralded single photon sources. By mixing photons generated via the developed sources, we show bosonic interference between indistinguishable photons—a crucial interaction for many photonic quantum computing protocols. This demonstration of proof-of-principle heralded multi-source interference in integrated lithium niobate contributes towards a scalable quantum photonics platform.
