HYBRID QUANTUM PHOTONIC INTEGRATED CIRCUITS
Abstract
Future quantum photonics requires the integration of components that generate, manipulate, and detect quantum light in a phase stable and efficient platform. However, full integration of such components on a chip is an outstanding challenge as no single material system can simultaneously provide all the functionalities. In this project, we propose hybrid quantum photonic integrated circuits that combine different material platforms and manipulation techniques for quantum emitters and photons into a single integrated chip. The project entails three primary objectives, including the development of (1) highly efficient quantum emitters in an integrated chip, (2) high-performance photonic circuits based on thin-film LiNbO3, (3) hybrid integration of the quantum emitters and photonic circuits that realize linear and nonlinear quantum interactions on a chip. To achieve these goals, the research will develop state-of-the-art techniques for deterministic integration of quantum emitters into a photonic circuit, as well as dynamic control of multiple quantum emitters, fast manipulation of photons, and linear and nonlinear interactions between emitters and photons on-a-chip. Having such integrated quantum photonic platforms will enable large?scale quantum photonic devices for chip?scale quantum optics applications such as photonic quantum simulations, photonic cluster state quantum computing, and optical quantum networks.
