Abstract:

Integrated quantum photonics platforms, capable of integrating photon sources, quantum circuits and photon detectors on semiconductor chips by exploring micro- or nano-fabrication technologies, promise unprecedented complexity, scalability and robustness for quantum information science and technology, including quantum communication, metrology, simulation and computing. In this talk, we will discuss integrated hardware for encoding, control, conversion, and measurement of quantum states in photon’s path, spin and orbital angular momentum degrees of freedom. We will also discuss the possibility of increasingly sophisticated functionality and the promise of manufacturability towards fully integrated photonic quantum computing, simulation, and communication systems.
