Configurable heralded two-photon Fock-states on a chip
arXiv:2008.02172 · doi:10.1364/OE.403552
Abstract
Progress in integrated photonics enables combining several elementary functions on single substrates for realizing advanced functionnalized chips. We report a monolithic integrated quantum photonic realization on lithium niobate, where nonlinear optics and electro-optics properties have been harnessed simultaneously for generating heralded configurable, two-photon states. Taking advantage of a picosecond pump laser and telecom components, we demonstrate the production of various path-coded heralded two-photon states, showing 94\% raw visibility for Hong-Ou-Mandel interference. The versatility and performance of such a highly integrated photonic entanglement source enable exploring more complex quantum information processing protocols finding application in communication, metrology and processing tasks.
