Integrated optics components for Quantum information

Abstract

Quantum information science has shown that harnessing quantum mechanical effects can dramatically improve performance for certain tasks in communication, computation and measurement. Of the various physical systems being pursued, single particles of light - photons - are often the logical choice [1]. In addition to single photon sources and detectors, photonic quantum technologies will rely on sophisticated optical circuits [2]. Recently we reported the implementation of quantum optic integrated circuits, which not only dramatically reduces the footprint of quantum circuits, but allows unprecedented stability and higher performance. We demonstrated silica on silicon circuits that implement key components for quantum information, including CNOT gates [3] and single-qubit operations [4]. These components show promising progresses toward fault tolerance operation [5]. We also used integrated waveguides to implement a circuit that performs a compiled version of Shor's quantum algorithm [6] to factorize 15. Here we report the demonstration of circuits that extend the capabilities of the components already demonstrated, to take full advantage of the integrated optics architecture.
