Silicon Photonics: a bright future for on-chip Quantum Optics
Damien Bonneau, Josh Silverstone, Jeremy O'Brien and Mark Thompson of CQP have had a review paper on silicon quantum photonics published in the IEEE Photonics Society News. The article, which you can find online at the IEEE website, was one of this month's research highlights.
The review paper discusses the silicon quantum-photonic technologies used so far, including reviews of the quantum behaviour and state-of-the-art demonstrations of each. It closes with a brief discussion of the integration of the various technologies, and the future prospects for large-scale quantum optics in silicon.
