Development of multiplexed photon sources for quantum technologies

New computing paradigms, circuits and technologies, incl. quantum Technological challenges

Abstract

Quantum information technologies offers several promises in domains such as computation or secured communications. Because of their robustness against decoherence, photonic qubits are particularly interesting for quantum communications applications, even at room temperature. They also offers an alternative to other qubits technologies for quantum computing. For the large-scale deployment of those applications, it is necessary to have cheap, compact and scalable devices. To reach this goal, silicon photonics platform is attractive. It allows implementing key components such as generation, manipulation and detection of photonic qubits. On the silicon platform, the photonic qubits are generated by pair through non linear process. has several benefits, such as working at room temperature, the ability to generate heralded single photon, or undistiguishable photons with spatially distinct sources.

The goal of this thésis is to work on the development, the fabrication monitoring, and the characterization in the laboratory of multiplexed photon sources on silicon chips to overcome the limits in the process of photon generation with one source. In order to achieve a full integration on chip, it is also essential to properly filter unwanted light in order to keep only the photons that are of interest. As a consequence you will also focus on the development of intgrated filters with high rejection rate.
