Scalable quantum circuits based on microlaser-pumped quantum emitters
The aim of this project is to develop a scalable quantum technology platform for generating single photons as information carriers for quantum communication and as input states for photonic quantum computers. The scalable quantum nanophotonic SQALE platform is based on individual semiconductor quantum dots that are embedded in quantum circuits based on photonic waveguides using innovative manufacturing methods and that are optically excited via integrated microlasers. To demonstrate the practical applicability, a SQALE module will be fiber-coupled as a demonstrator and integrated in a user-friendly and compact cryocooler.
Key features
- Scalable quantum device concept through the deterministic integration of quantum emitters via iEBL
- Monolithic integration of energy-efficient microlasers and single photon sources on a chip
- User-friendly “plug'n'play” operation through on-chip fiber coupling and cryostat integration
- Silicon integration compatible chip approach via bonding to a Si substrate
