Photonic integrated circuits for quantum communication and computation

摘要

In this paper we propose various applications of guided wave optics to quantum optics experiments. An immediate application cocerns entangled photon sources. Long term objectives woill be multiparticle (n > 2) and multiport configurations, needed for quantum error-correction. We show how guided wave optics, incorporating both integrated optics and fiber optics, could provide a realistic means of constructing experiments and devices.
