Scaling up linear-optics quantum computing will require multi-photon gates which are compact, phase-stable, exhibit excellent quantum interference, and have success heralded by the detection of ancillary photons. We investigate implementation of the optimal known gate design which meets these requirements: the Knill controlled-Z gate, implemented in integrated laser-written waveguide arrays. We show that device performance is more sensitive to the small deviations in the coupler reflectivity, arising due to the tolerance values of the fabrication method, than phase variations in the circuit. The mode fidelity was also shown to be less sensitive to reflectivity and phase errors than process fidelity. Our best device achieves a fidelity of 0.931+/-0.001 with the ideal 4x4 unitary circuit and a process fidelity of 0.680+/-0.005 with the ideal computational-basis process.

In the 1960s, computer engineers had to address the tyranny of numbers problem in which improvements in computing and its applications required integrating an increasing number of electronic components. From the first computers powered by vacuum tube
s to the billions of transistors fabricated on a single microprocessor chip today, transformational advances in integration have led to remarkable processing performance and new unforeseen applications in computing. Today, quantum scientists and engineers are facing similar integration challenges. Research labs packed with benchtop components, such as tunable lasers, tables filled with optics, and racks of control hardware, are needed to prepare, manipulate, and read out quantum states from a modest number of qubits. Analogous to electronic circuit design and fabrication nearly five decades ago, scaling quantum systems (i.e. to thousands or millions of components and quantum elements) with the required functionality, high performance, and stability will only be realized through novel design architectures and fabrication techniques that enable the chip-scale integration of electronic and quantum photonic integrated circuits (QPIC). In the next decade, with sustained research, development, and investment in the quantum photonic ecosystem (i.e. PIC-based platforms, devices and circuits, fabrication and integration processes, packaging, and testing and benchmarking), we will witness the transition from single- and few-function prototypes to the large-scale integration of multi-functional and reconfigurable QPICs that will define how information is processed, stored, transmitted, and utilized for quantum computing, communications, metrology, and sensing. This roadmap highlights the current progress in the field of integrated quantum photonics, future challenges, and advances in science and technology needed to meet these challenges.
Designing integrated photonics, especially to leverage Kerr-nonlinear optics, requires accurate and precise knowledge of refractive index across the visible to infrared spectral ranges. Tantala (Ta_2O_5) is an emerging material platform for integrate
d photonics and nanophotonics that offers broadband ultralow loss, moderately high nonlinearity, and advantages for scalable and heterogeneous integration. We present refractive-index measurements on a thin film of tantala, and we explore the efficacy of this data for group-velocity dispersion (GVD) engineering with waveguide and ring-resonator devices. In particular, the observed spectral extent of supercontinuum generation in fabricated waveguides, and the wavelength dependence of free spectral range (FSR) in optical resonators provide a sensitive test of our integrated-photonics design process. Our work opens up new design possibilities with tantala, including with octave-spanning soliton microcombs.
We designed and demonstrated experimentally a silicon photonics integrated dynamic polarization controller which is a crucial component of a continuous-variable quantum key distribution system. By using a variable step simulated annealing approach, w
e achieve a dynamic polarization extinction ratio greater than 25 dB. The dynamic polarization controller can be utilized in silicon photonics integrated continuous-variable quantum key distribution system to minimize the size and decrease the cost further.
The optical selection rules in epitaxial quantum dots are strongly influenced by the orientation of their natural quantization axis, which is usually parallel to the growth direction. This configuration is well suited for vertically emitting devices,
but not for planar photonic circuits because of the poorly controlled orientation of the transition dipoles in the growth plane. Here we show that the quantization axis of gallium arsenide dots can be flipped into the growth plane via moderate in plane uniaxial stress. By using piezoelectric strain actuators featuring strain-amplification we study the evolution of the selection rules and excitonic fine-structure in a regime, in which quantum confinement can be regarded as a perturbation compared to strain in determining the symmetry properties of the system. The experimental and computational results suggest that uniaxial stress, may be the right tool to obtain quantum light sources with ideally oriented transition dipoles and enhanced oscillator strengths for integrated quantum photonics.
Superradiance, the enhanced collective emission of energy from a coherent ensemble of quantum systems, has been typically studied in atomic ensembles. In this work we study theoretically the enhanced emission of energy from coherent ensembles of harm
onic oscillators. We show that it should be possible to observe harmonic oscillator superradiance for the first time in waveguide arrays in integrated photonics. Furthermore, we describe how pairwise correlations within the ensemble can be measured with this architecture. These pairwise correlations are an integral part of the phenomenon of superradiance and have never been observed in experiments to date.
