“…Among solid-state candidates, some promising ones are epitaxy grown QDs, color centers in diamond and solids like SiC, and rare-earth defects in glasses and crystals.

“…When implemented in optical fibers, spontaneous FWM provides a vast arsenal of methods and an ample parameter space for engineering photon entanglement in spectral, temporal, spatial and polarization modes. Advanced methods of fiber-dispersion management, on the other hand, may prove instrumental for entanglement-time engineering [166]. As one of the recent trends, FWM with cross-polarized pump and sidebands finds growing use as a powerful resource of quantum entanglement, enabling creation of efficient fiber-optic sources of strongly antibunching heralded single photons [165] and high-brightness entangled photon pairs [166].…”

Integrated photonics will play a key role in quantum systems as they grow from few-qubit prototypes to tens of thousands of qubits. The underlying optical quantum technologies can only be realized through the integration of these components onto quantum photonic integrated circuits (QPICs) with accompanying electronics. In the last decade, remarkable advances in quantum photonic integration have enabled table-top experiments to be scaled down to prototype chips with improvements in efficiency, robustness, and key performance metrics. These advances have enabled integrated quantum photonic technologies combining up to 650 optical and electrical components onto a single chip that are capable of programmable quantum information processing, chip-to-chip networking, hybrid quantum system integration, and high-speed communications. In this roadmap article, we highlight the status, current and future challenges, and emerging technologies in several key research areas in integrated quantum photonics, including photonic platforms, quantum and classical light sources, quantum frequency conversion, integrated detectors, and applications in computing, communications, and sensing. With advances in materials, photonic design architectures, fabrication and integration processes, packaging, and testing and benchmarking, in the next decade we can expect a transition from single- and few-function prototypes to large-scale integration of multi-functional and reconfigurable devices that will have a transformative impact on quantum information science and engineering.

“…In recent years, multichannel coincidence counting devices have garnered significant interest for use in the field of quantum information [25][26][27]. One technology used to achieve multi-channel coincidence counting is the FPGA counting board.…”
The latest breakthroughs in quantum technologies, such as satellite quantum communications, present new challenges, imposing stringent restrictions on weight, size, and power consumption of quantum information systems. Here, we show that nonlinear and quantum optics provides powerful resources to confront these challenges by offering attractive solutions for photon-pair counting and quantum-entanglement detection. We demonstrate a low-cost, readily miniaturizable photon-pair counting module, which consumes less than 100 μAh during a sub-10 ms power-on/off measurement cycle, thus providing a meaningful performance as a promising component for satellite quantum technologies.
