“…Such wavelength converters enable long distance quantum state transfer from flying qubit to a stationary qubit or vice versa, and entanglement distribution between two remote matter qubits in long‐distance quantum networks . The high conversion efficiencies that are achievable in LNOI, makes this platform very attractive for such wavelength down conversion schemes and the integration of quantum dots in such waveguides seems also feasible …”

Lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) technology is revolutionizing the lithium niobate industry, enabling higher performance, lower cost and entirely new devices and applications. The availability of LNOI wafers has sparked significant interest in the platform for integrated optical applications, as LNOI offers the attractive material properties of lithium niobate, while also offering the stronger optical confinement and a high optical element integration density that has driven the success of more mature silicon and silicon nitride (SiN) photonics platforms. Due to some similarities between LNOI and SiN, established techniques and standards can readily be adapted to the LNOI platform including a significant array of interface approaches, device designs and also heterogeneous integration techniques for laser sources and photodetectors. In this contribution, we review the latest developments in this platform, examine where further development is necessary to achieve more functionalities in LNOI integrated optical circuits and make a few suggestions of interesting applications that could be realized in this platform.

“…Additionally, Murray et al [175] demonstrated orthogonal bonding of a GaAs chip containing QDs and a silicon photonic chip with single-qubit circuitry. Probe-based manipulation has allowed integrating QDs into SiN waveguides [176] and onto MEMS tuners [168] (see Figure 6b), as well as positioning nanodiamond-based NV centers into photonic crystal structures [177] and plasmonic waveguides [178]. Diamond microwaveguides and PCCs containing single NV centers have been hybridized onto silicon chips [179,180], promising high quality hybrid quantum memories and single-photon sources (especially in the case of SiV centers).…”

On-chip integration of quantum optical systems could be a major factor enabling photonic quantum technologies. Unlike the case of electronics, where the essential device is a transistor and the dominant material is silicon, the toolbox of elementary devices required for both classical and quantum photonic integrated circuits is vast. Therefore, many material platforms are being examined to host the future quantum photonic computers and network nodes. We discuss the pros and cons of several platforms for realizing various elementary devices, compare the current degrees of integration achieved in each platform and review several composite platform approaches.

“…An alternative scheme is to use quantum emitters with naturally sub-Poissonian photon statistics within a waveguide circuit made of the emitter's host material. [17][18][19][20] It is also possible to evanescently couple the emitter to a low-loss PIC [21][22][23] and these schemes have verified the emission of single photons. However, for realising large scale and compact circuits, it will be necessary to integrate multiple sources of indistinguishable photons on the chip, as we demonstrate here.…”

We report a compact, scalable, quantum photonic integrated circuit realised by combining multiple, independent InGaAs/GaAs quantum-light-emitting-diodes (QLEDs) with a silicon oxynitride waveguide circuit. Each waveguide joining the circuit can then be excited by a separate, independently electrically contacted QLED. We show that the emission from neighbouring QLEDs can be independently tuned to degeneracy using the Stark Effect and that the resulting photon streams are indistinguishable. This enables on-chip Hong-Ou-Mandel-type interference, as required for many photonic quantum information processing schemes.
