Realization of integrated quantum
photonics is a key step toward
scalable quantum applications such as quantum computing, sensing,
information processing, and quantum material metrology. To enable
practical quantum photonic systems, several challenges should be addressed,
including (i) the realization of deterministic, bright, and stable
single-photon emission operating at THz rates and at room temperatures,
(ii) on-chip integration of efficient single-photon sources, and (iii)
the development of deterministic and scalable nanoassembly of quantum
circuitry elements. In this Perspective, we focus on the emerging
field of physics-informed machine learning (ML) quantum photonics
that is envisioned to play a decisive role in addressing the above
challenges. Specifically, three directions of ML-assisted quantum
research are discussed: (i) rapid preselection of single single-photon
sources via ML-assisted quantum measurements, (ii) hybrid ML-optimization
approach for developing efficient quantum circuits elements, and (iii)
ML-based frameworks for developing novel deterministic assembly of
on-chip quantum emitters.
