Project Description: When creating a spatially multiplexed single photon source, low interference and high efficiency integration of components is critical to provide feedforward in low temperature environments. Realising the use-cases of such a device is key for near-term applications. This project will be split into two main goals: systems level integration and hardware component design, and theorising novel use-cases of high efficiency single photon sources. The hardware level approach compromises of designing and developing ways of integrating subsystems to create a single photon source i.e. packaging techniques between chips(photon sources andSNSPD's),integration with cryogenics, optical interfaces between components. This comprises of applying existing literature toa device built on SoI using integrated microelectronics and flip chip bonded detectors. Avenues for optimising system components include investigating novel methods of creating low-losson chip delay lines and low temperature modulation schemes. Unsure whether this scope is too large for duration of the PhD. These components can then be used to qualify and optimise source brightness and fidelity. The theoretical use-cases of such a multiplexed source comprises of looking at target fidelity and efficiency bounds for creating bell pairs(and eventually GHZ states),and the feasibility of using for multiplexed sources for quantum communication protocols -i.e. entanglement swapping and quantum repeaters. The work will be performed within the big photon group, working alongside Seb Currie, Dom Sulway and Jeremy Adcock. The group has funding for a further two years, with existing equipment consisting of 2um lasers and broadband sources, OSA, single photon SNSPD's, chip rigs, a fridge for cryogenic integration (currently being built), and funding for future SoI chip runs. There will be collaboration will the Qcomms's group in generating theoretical use-cases

项目名称：当创建空间多路复用单光子源时，低干扰和组件的高效集成对于在低温环境中提供前馈是至关重要的。实现这种设备的用例是近期应用的关键。该项目将分为两个主要目标：系统级集成和硬件组件设计，以及理论化高效单光子源的新用例。硬件级方法包括设计和开发集成子系统的方法，以创建单个光子源，即芯片（光子源和SNSPD）之间的封装技术，与低温的集成，组件之间的光学接口。这包括应用现有的文献toa设备内置于SoI使用集成的微电子和倒装芯片键合检测器。优化系统组件的途径包括研究创建低损耗芯片延迟线和低温调制方案的新方法。不知道这个范围是否太大的博士学位的持续时间。然后，这些组件可用于限定和优化光源亮度和保真度。这种多路复用源的理论用例包括查看用于创建钟对（以及最终GHZ状态）的目标保真度和效率界限，以及用于量子通信协议的多路复用源的可行性-即纠缠交换和量子中继器。这项工作将在大光子小组内进行，与Seb Currie，Dom Sulway和Jeremy Adcock一起工作。该小组还有两年的资金，现有设备包括2um激光器和宽带光源，OSA，单光子SNSPD，芯片钻机，用于低温集成的冰箱（目前正在建造），以及未来SoI芯片运行的资金。Qcomms的团队将在生成理论用例方面进行合作
