Abstract

We demonstrate fast polarization and path control of photons at 1550 nm in lithium niobate waveguide devices using the electro-optic effect. We show heralded single photon state engineering, quantum interference, fast state preparation of two entangled photons, and feedback control of quantum interference. These results point the way to a single platform that will enable the integration of nonlinear single photon sources and fast reconfigurable circuits for future photonic quantum information science and technology.

  • Because the device exploits the electro-optic effect in LiNbO3, it paves the way toward ultrafast processing.

    “Moreover, because our device exploits the electro-optic effect in LiNbO3, it also paves the way toward ultrafast processing, which is well established and widely acknowledged in classical communication devices such as modulators (33) but rarely used in quantum optics (34).”

  • The production of single photons through parametric down conversion has megahertz repetition rates.

    “While it appears that this effect will be the limiting factor in terms of speed, photodetectors are able to reach reset times in the tens of nanoseconds, while the production of single photons through parametric down conversion has megahertz repetition rates.46”

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.
