Quantum Information Science
Abstract
This report discusses research conducted under the in-house AFRL/RI project Quantum Computing from FY16-FY18. In the sections below we discuss (i) the use of Aluminum Nitride (AIN) as a universal platform for quantum photonic integrated circuits (QPIC), (ii) theory and device characterization of a QPIC Quantum Photonic Processor (QPP), (iii) the important practical issue of Quantum Frequency Conversion, (iv) a Dual Mach Zehnder Interferometer capable of separating out the driving pump from the generated entangled photon pairs, (v) a detailed theoretical and experimental investigation of Spontaneous Parametric Down Conversion for entangled photon generation, (vi) a theoretical investigation of nonlinear optical processes in waveguide micro-ring resonators and (vii) an analysis of quantum algorithms conducted on the DWAVE quantum annealing machine.
