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.

“…They remain, however, hard to manufacture and do not offer much spectral flexibility. Notably, quantum dots have recently been integrated with other on-chip quantum optics [22], and have obtained high levels of single-dot pulse-to-pulse indistinguishability [23], bringing them nearer to system-level integration.…”

“…Devices have primarily been based on polycrystalline films of NbN [78], [80], [81], but yield considerations have put a new focus on the amorphous superconductors: WSi [82]- [84], MoSi [85], [86], and MoGe [87]. Detectors have been patterned atop waveguides of various materials, mostly using NbN films [22], [74], [81], [84], [88]- [90]. By building intimate waveguide-nanowire contact into these devices, very short meanders and near-unit absorption can be achieved simultaneously.…”

Finally, indium phosphide has the advantage of a mature classical photonics ecosystem, including an electrically pumped laser; for QKD systems requiring just one photon at a time, this laser is an adequate replacement [20].…”

Integrated quantum photonic applications, providing physially guaranteed communications security, sub-shot-noise measurement, and tremendous computational power, are nearly within technological reach. Silicon as a technology platform has proven formibable in establishing the micro-electornics revoltution, and it might do so again in the quantum technology revolution. Silicon has has taken photonics by storm, with its promise of scalable manufacture, integration, and compatibility with CMOS microelectronics. These same properties, and a few others, motivate its use for large-scale quantum optics as well. In this article we provide context to the development of quantum optics in silicon. We review the development of the various components which constitute integrated quantum photonic systems, and we identify the challenges which must be faced and their potential solutions for silicon quantum photonics to make quantum technology a reality

“…29 There have been several recent attempts to use resonant excitation schemes in order to enhance the coherence properties of in-plane photons. [30][31][32] All of the experiments have been performed in ridge GaAs waveguides containing In(Ga)As QDs. Enhancement of the photon coherence time has been observed, as well as sub-Poissonian statistics for in-plane photons.…”

Integrated quantum light sources in photonic circuits are envisaged as building blocks of future on-chip architectures for quantum logic operations. While semiconductor quantum dots have been proven to be highly efficient emitters of quantum light, their interaction with the host material induces spectral decoherence, which decreases the indistinguishability of the emitted photons and limits their functionality. Here, we show that the indistinguishability of in-plane photons can be greatly enhanced by performing resonance fluorescence on a quantum dot coupled to a photonic crystal waveguide. We find that the resonant optical excitation of an exciton state induces an increase of the emitted single-photon coherence by a factor of 15. Twophoton interference experiments reveal a visibility of 0.80 ± 0.03, which is good agreement with
