Generation of multiphoton entangled quantum states by means of integrated frequency combs
Open accessAbstract
Entangled frequency combs: The ability to generate optical frequency combs in which the output light is made up of millions of sharp lines precisely spaced apart has been important for optical applications and for fundamental science. Reimer et al. now show that frequency combs can be taken into the quantum regime. They took individual teeth of the combs and quantum-mechanically entangled them to form complex optical states. Because the method is compatible with existing fiber and semiconductor technology, the results demonstrate a possible scalable and practical platform for quantum technologies.

TL;DR
Integrated Kerr frequency combs in a CMOS-compatible microring resonator generate broadband time-bin entangled photon pairs and four-photon entangled states via spontaneous four-wave mixing. The platform produces high-visibility two-photon entanglement and four-photon interference, with state tomography showing 96% fidelity for two-photon qubits and 64% for four-photon states.
Key findings
- The microring resonator had a Q-factor of about 240,000, 803 MHz linewidth, and 200 GHz free spectral range, emitting photons across the S, C, and L ITU bands from 1470 to 1620 nm with pair production rates of 0.02–0.04 pairs per pulse.
- Time-bin entangled qubits were generated across comb resonances; five selected channel pairs showed raw quantum-interference visibilities above 0.824, violating the CHSH/Bell-like inequality, and background-corrected visibilities above 93.2%.
- Four-photon time-bin entangled states were generated by selecting two signal-idler pairs; at 1.5 mW pump power, a quadruple detection rate of 0.17 Hz was measured, corresponding to a calculated generation rate of 135 kHz, with four-photon interference visibility of 89%.
- Quantum state tomography gave a two-photon fidelity of 96% and a four-photon fidelity of 64%; after adding 40 km of fiber, the two-photon fidelity was 87%.
Methods
- The source was a four-port microring resonator in CMOS-compatible high-refractive-index glass, pumped by a 16.8 MHz repetition-rate mode-locked fiber laser filtered to a single ring resonance at 1556.2 nm with 570 ps pulses.
- Photon pairs were generated by spontaneous four-wave mixing; time-bin entanglement was created by passing the pump through a stabilized unbalanced fiber interferometer with an 11.4 ns delay, producing double pulses with a defined relative phase.
- Entanglement was characterized by quantum interference measurements with signal and idler interferometers, Bell-like inequality violation, four-photon interference, and quantum state tomography.
Limitations
- The paper states that the demonstrated multi-photon entangled states are separable, generated as a product of bi-photon Bell states, and that non-separable multi-photon cluster states would require multiple excitation fields or controlled phase gates.
- The four-photon fidelity of 64% was obtained without compensation for background noise or interferometer imperfections, and system/detection losses were 14.75 dB.
- The text notes spectral asymmetry from Raman scattering, which could be reduced by cooling the chip, and that further device integration could reduce size and losses; the current setup uses fiber-connected components rather than a single chip.

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-23, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-23 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
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.
