Quantum Dots And Integrated Photonic Circuits Based Photon Sources And Applications
Photons as information carriers are benefited from the advantages of low decoherence, diverse degrees of freedom, and fast information delivery. In my work, self-assembledInAsquantum dots (QDs) are adopted as quantum emitters with assist from planar photonic nanostructures to tailor the light-matter interaction and enhance emitted photons collection. To perform photonic quantum computing, these photon sources are required to interface the advanced photonic integrated circuits (PICs). In a hybrid approach utilizing chip-to-chip connections to construct a multi-chip photonic processor, a deterministic single-photon source is utilized in conjunction with a programmable silicon-nitride integrated circuit. By combining state-of-the-art QD photon sources with the scalability of CMOS-compatible PICs inSiN, this platform shows great promise for advancing photonic quantum technologies.
