We investigate an integrated optical circuit on lithium niobate designed to implement the teleportation-based quantum relay scheme for one-way quantum communication at a telecom wavelength. Such an advanced quantum circuit merges for the first time, both optical-optical and electro-optical non-linear functions necessary to implement the desired on-chip single qubit teleportation. On one hand, spontaneous parametric down-conversion is used to produce entangled photon-pairs. On the other hand, we take advantage of two photon routers, consisting of electro-optically controllable couplers, to separate the paired photons and to perform a Bell state measurement, respectively. After having validated all the individual functions in the classical regime, we have performed a Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) experiment to mimic a one-way quantum communication link. Such a quantum effect, seen as a prerequisite towards achieving teleportation, has been obtained, at one of the routers, when the chip was coupled to an external single photon source. The two-photon interference pattern shows a net visibility of 80%, which validates the proof of principle of a quantum relay circuit for qubits carried by telecom photons. In case of optimized losses, such a chip could increase the maximal achievable distance of one-way quantum key distribution links by a factor 1.8. Our approach and results emphasize the high potential of integrated optics on lithium niobate as a key technology for future reconfigurable quantum information manipulation.

Quantum technology is playing an increasingly important role due to the intrinsic parallel processing capabilities endorsed by quantum superposition, exceeding upper limits of classical performances in diverse fields. Integrated photonic chip offers
an elegant way to construct large-scale quantum systems in a physically scalable fashion, however, nonuniformity of quantum sources prevents all the elements from being connected coherently for exponentially increasing Hilbert space. Here, we experimentally demonstrate 128 identical quantum sources integrated on a single silica chip. By actively controlling the light-matter interaction in femtosecond laser direct writing, we are able to unify the properties of waveguides comprehensively and therefore the spontaneous four-wave mixing process for quantum sources. We verify the indistinguishability of the on-chip sources by a series of heralded two-source Hong-Ou-Mandel interference, with all the dip visibilities above 90%. In addition, the brightness of the sources is found easily reaching MHz and being applicable to both discrete-variable and continuous-variable platform, showing either clear anti-bunching feature or large squeezing parameter under different pumping regimes. The demonstrated scalability and uniformity of quantum sources, together with integrated photonic network and detection, will enable large-scale all-on-chip quantum processors for real-life applications.
This is a pre-publication version of a forthcoming book on quantum atom optics. It is written as a senior undergraduate to junior graduate level textbook, assuming knowledge of basic quantum mechanics, and covers the basic principles of neutral atom
matter wave systems with an emphasis on quantum technology applications. The topics covered include: introduction to second quantization of many-body systems, Bose-Einstein condensation, the order parameter and Gross-Pitaevskii equation, spin dynamics of atoms, spinor Bose-Einstein condensates, atom diffraction, atomic interferometry beyond the standard limit, quantum simulation, squeezing and entanglement with atomic ensembles, quantum information with atomic ensembles. This book would suit students who wish to obtain the necessary skills for working with neutral atom many-body atomic systems, or could be used as a text for an undergraduate or graduate level course (exercises are included throughout). This is a near-final draft of the book, but inevitably errors may be present. If any errors are found, we welcome you to contact us and it will be corrected before publication.

The development of quantum relays for long haul and attack-proof quantum communication networks operating with weak coherent laser pulses requires entangled photon sources at telecommunication wavelengths with intrinsic single-photon emission for mos
t practical implementations. Using a semiconductor quantum dot emitting entangled photon pairs in the telecom O-band, we demonstrate for the first time a quantum relay fulfilling both of these conditions. The system achieves a maximum fidelity of 94.5 % for implementation of a standard 4-state protocol with input states generated by a laser. We further investigate robustness against frequency detuning of the narrow-band input and perform process tomography of the teleporter, revealing operation for arbitrary pure input states, with an average gate fidelity of 83.6 %. The results highlight the potential of semiconductor light sources for compact and robust quantum relay technology, compatible with existing communication infrastructures.
Quantum key distribution (QKD) promises security stemming from the laws of quantum physics. QKD devices based on integrated chips not only provides miniaturization, but also enhanced performance, which is important to practical and scalable networks.
Here we report the realization of a relay server for measurement-device-independent QKD based on a heterogeneous superconducting-silicon-photonic chip. Silicon waveguides and beam splitters are used for optical guidance and interference. Waveguide integrated superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors are used to detector single photons. We show Hong-Ou-Mandel interference between weak coherent states with a visibility of 48%(2%). Our system generates 733 sifted bits at about 71 dB attenuation (equivalent to 358 km standard fiber) with a quantum bit error rate of 3.5%(0.7%). The fabrication processes of our device are compatible with standard thin-film technology. Together with integrated QKD transmitters, a scalable, chip-based and cost-effective QKD network can be realized in the near future.
Sir Peter Knight is a pioneer in quantum optics which has now grown to an important branch of modern physics to study the foundations and applications of quantum physics. He is leading an effort to develop new technologies from quantum mechanics. In
this collection of essays, we recall the time we were working with him as a postdoc or a PhD student and look at how the time with him has influenced our research.
