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.

Hybrid Integration of Solid-State Quantum Emitters on a Silicon Photonic Chip

Scalable quantum photonic systems require efficient single photon sources coupled to integrated photonic devices. Solid-state quantum emitters can generate single photons with high efficiency, while silicon photonic circuits can manipulate them in an integrated device structure. Combining these two material platforms could, therefore, significantly increase the complexity of integrated quantum photonic devices. Here, we demonstrate hybrid integration of solid-state quantum emitters to a silicon photonic device. We develop a pickand-place technique that can position epitaxially grown InAs/InP quantum dots emitting at telecom wavelengths on a silicon photonic chip deterministically with nanoscale precision.We employ an adiabatic tapering approach to transfer the emission from the quantum dots to the waveguide with high efficiency. We also incorporate an on-chip silicon-photonic beamsplitter to perform a Hanbury-Brown and Twiss measurement. Our approach could enable integration of pre-characterized III-V quantum photonic devices into large-scale photonic structures to enable complex devices composed of many emitters and photons.Photonic quantum information processors use multiple interacting photons to implement quantum computors, 1,2 simulators, 3,4 and networks. [5][6][7][8] These applications require efficient single photon sources coupled to photonic circuits that implement qubit interactions to create highly connected multi-qubit systems. [8][9][10][11] Scalable photonic quantum information processors require methods to integrate single photon sources with compact photonic devices that can combine many optical components. Such integration could enable complex quantum information processors in a compact solid-state material. [12][13][14] Silicon has many advantages as a material for integrated quantum photonic devices. It has a large refractive index that enables many photonic components to fit into a small device size.

“…As a first step towards CNT-based optoelectronic photonic devices, light generation in waveguide-like electrodes [3] and optical waveguides [4–6] via electrically driven CNTs has been demonstrated. Very recently electroluminescent CNTs integrated into photonic circuits emerged as sources of non-classical light [7]. Besides electrical drive, optically stimulated light emission from CNTs coupled into waveguides [8] and to cavities [9] has been achieved.…”

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have recently been integrated into optical waveguides and operated as electrically-driven light emitters under constant electrical bias. Such devices are of interest for the conversion of fast electrical signals into optical ones within a nanophotonic circuit. Here, we demonstrate that waveguide-integrated single-walled CNTs are promising high-speed transducers for light-pulse generation in the gigahertz range. Using a scalable fabrication approach we realize hybrid CNT-based nanophotonic devices, which generate optical pulse trains in the range from 200 kHz to 2 GHz with decay times below 80 ps. Our results illustrate the potential of CNTs for hybrid optoelectronic systems and nanoscale on-chip light sources.
