Scaling up photonic quantum devices to reach complexities allowing to solve real-world problems requires a platform enabling scalable integration of solid-state quantum emitter with a high yield. Their nanometer-size together with their excellent quantum optical properties make them the ideal candidates for on-chip photonic quantum technologies. However, robust, scalable integration remains elusive. Here, we discuss the state-of-the-art methods to integrate quantum emitters into photonic integrated circuits, emphasizing the pros and cons of the integration methods applicable for specific quantum emitters. Based on our thorough comparison we give our perspective on the most promising approaches and how to overcome the remaining challenges.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
