Abstract: The realization of scalable, real world devices in quantum technologies requires myriad new approaches and hardware components. Integrated photonics play a crucial role in many applications in quantum information and quantum sensing, enabling the realization of key components such as new light sources, waveguides, resonators, and detectors. The field of integrated quantum photonics is booming, and an increasing number of research groups are contributing to the accelerating efforts to study fundamental and technological challenges at the intersection of quantum optics, nanophotonics, and hybrid integrated devices. This Special Topic Collection is dedicated to highlighting important progress in the field of integrated quantum photonics and presenting new cutting-edge results, both experimental and theoretical, toward the common goal of exploring quantum photonic phenomena.

Topological protection of biphoton states
Publisher: American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
Date: 02-11-2018
Abstract: Photons are readily generated, are fast and can travel vast distances, and are ideal carriers of quantum information. Practical applications, such as quantum computing, will likely be based on an optical-chip platform and require the manipulation of multiphoton states. The inevitable scattering and loss of photons in such a platform would be detrimental for application. Blanco-Redondo et al. show how a specially designed optical circuit based on topology can offer protection for propagating biphoton states. The results show that topological design consideration could provide the desired robustness required for quantum optical circuitry. Science , this issue p. 568
3D‐Printed Terahertz Topological Waveguides
Publisher: Wiley
Date: 10-06-2021
Abstract: Compact and robust waveguide chips are crucial for new integrated terahertz (THz) applications, such as high‐speed interconnections between processors and broadband short‐range wireless communications. Progress on topological photonic crystals shows potential to improve integrated terahertz systems that suffer from high losses around sharp bends. Robust terahertz topological transport through sharp bends on a silicon chip has recently been reported over a relatively narrow bandwidth. Here, the experimental demonstration of topological terahertz planar air‐channel metallic waveguides, which are able to integrate functional components inside the chip, is reported. This platform is fabricated by a simple, cost‐effective technique combining 3D‐printing and gold sputtering. The relative size of the measured topological bandgap is ≈12.5%, which entails significant improvement (≈60%) over all‐silicon terahertz topological waveguides (≈7.8%). Robust THz propagation around defects and delay lines is further demonstrated. This work provides a promising path toward compact integrated terahertz devices as a next frontier for advanced terahertz systems such as wireless communications.

Pure-quartic solitons and their generalizations—Theory and experiments
Publisher: AIP Publishing
Date: 09-2021
DOI: 10.1063/5.0059525
Abstract: Solitons are wave packets that can propagate without changing shape by balancing nonlinear effects with the effects of dispersion. In photonics, they have underpinned numerous applications, ranging from telecommunications and spectroscopy to ultrashort pulse generation. Although traditionally the dominant dispersion type has been quadratic dispersion, experimental and theoretical research in recent years has shown that high-order, even dispersion enriches the phenomenon and may lead to novel applications. In this Tutorial, which is aimed both at soliton novices and at experienced researchers, we review the exciting developments in this burgeoning area, which includes pure-quartic solitons and their generalizations. We include theory, numerics, and experimental results, covering both fundamental aspects and applications. The theory covers the relevant equations and the intuition to make sense of the results. We discuss experiments in silicon photonic crystal waveguides and in a fiber laser and assess the promises in additional platforms. We hope that this Tutorial will encourage our colleagues to join in the investigation of this exciting and promising field.

Abstract: Temporal optical solitons have been the subject of intense research due to their intriguing physics and applications in ultrafast optics and supercontinuum generation. Conventional bright optical solitons result from the interaction of anomalous group-velocity dispersion and self-phase modulation. Here we experimentally demonstrate a class of bright soliton arising purely from the interaction of negative fourth-order dispersion and self-phase modulation, which can occur even for normal group-velocity dispersion. We provide experimental and numerical evidence of shape-preserving propagation and flat temporal phase for the fundamental pure-quartic soliton and periodically modulated propagation for the higher-order pure-quartic solitons. We derive the approximate shape of the fundamental pure-quartic soliton and discover that is surprisingly Gaussian, exhibiting excellent agreement with our experimental observations. Our discovery, enabled by precise dispersion engineering, could find applications in communications, frequency combs and ultrafast lasers.

Topologically protected entangled photonic states
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH
Date: 09-05-2019
Abstract: Entangled multiphoton states lie at the heart of quantum information, computing, and communications. In recent years, topology has risen as a new avenue to robustly transport quantum states in the presence of fabrication defects, disorder, and other noise sources. Whereas topological protection of single photons and correlated photons has been recently demonstrated experimentally, the observation of topologically protected entangled states has thus far remained elusive. Here, we experimentally demonstrate the topological protection of spatially entangled biphoton states. We observe robustness in crucial features of the topological biphoton correlation map in the presence of deliberately introduced disorder in the silicon nanophotonic structure, in contrast with the lack of robustness in non-topological structures. The topological protection is shown to ensure the coherent propagation of the entangled topological modes, which may lead to robust propagation of quantum information in disordered systems.
