Periodic Reporting for period 1 - HyQuIP (Hybrid Quantum Integrated Photonics)
Berichtszeitraum: 2017-03-01 bis 2019-02-28
- Realizing a hybrid quantum photonic circuits combining silicon photonics and IIIV quantum emitters
- Multiplexing several, deterministically integrated, quantum sources on a single chip.
- On-chip routing of on-demand single photons
- Realizing novel photonic circuits on piezoelectric materials, with deterministically integrated quantum sources
- Controlled integration of superconducting detectors.
- Realizing a fully integrated quantum transceiver, combining the source, the detector, and the waveguide channel.
In HyQuiP, we followed a diverse approach in disseminating the results as shown below
