Abstract

Recent developments in chip-based photonic quantum circuits has radically impacted quantum information processing. However, it is challenging for monolithic photonic platforms to meet the stringent demands of most quantum applications. Hybrid platforms combining different photonic technologies in a single functional unit have great potential to overcome the limitations of monolithic photonic circuits. Our review summarizes the progress of hybrid quantum photonics integration, discusses important design considerations including optical connectivity and operation conditions, then highlights several successful realizations of key physical resources for building a quantum-teleporter. We conclude by discussing the roadmap for realizing future advanced large-scale hybrid devices, beyond the solid state platform, which hold great potential for quantum information applications.

  • Integration of QFC elements with pump lasers and other quantum photonic elements such as SPSs and solid-state spins is feasible, particularly in hybrid photonic platforms.

    “Along with combining the QFC element(s) with linear components such as filters and couplers, integration with pump lasers and other quantum photonic elements, such as SPSs and solid-state spins, is feasible, particularly in the context of hybrid photonic platforms that combine the advantageous characteristics of dissimilar materials [4].”

    In “Hybrid storage devices and nonlinear elements” (page unavailable), the paper reports quantum frequency conversion of photons from a quantum-dot single-photon source in a modular hybrid chip system. It also describes hybrid integration of complementary materials and discusses solid-state qubits, but the passages do not establish integration of a QFC element with pump lasers or solid-state spins specifically.

  • Hybrid integration techniques have successfully produced silicon photonic devices with on-chip QD SPSs.

    “It is worth noting that hybrid integration techniques, in which III-V and silicon-based devices are produced in separate runs and then brought together through methods such as pick-and-place or transfer-printing, have also successfully produced silicon photonic devices with on-chip QD SPSs [4].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
