Large Scale and Ultrafast Integrated Quantum Photonics in Silicon Carbide

该项目将为在碳化硅中制造超紧凑、可重构的集成量子光学器件建立一个新的技术平台。有了这个新架构，该项目将展示大型的、可重构的光学电路和集成的单光子探测器，其中数十个光子可以在小型化的光学设备中进行干涉、操作和测量。该制造工艺将与当前的电子和光学通信技术兼容，并将支持具有高水平可扩展性和复杂性的新一代光学设备。最后，该项目将研究碳化硅中单光子和类原子单缺陷之间有效耦合的腔型结构。

This project will establish a new technological platform for the fabrication of ultra-compact, reconfigurable integrated quantum optical devices in silicon carbide. With this new architecture the project will demonstrate large, reconfigurable optical circuits and integrated single photon detectors where tens of photons can interfere, be manipulated and measured in miniaturised optical devices. The fabrication process will be compatible with current electronic and optical telecommunication technology and will support a new generation of optical devices with a high level scalability and complexity. Finally the project will investigate cavity type structures for the efficient coupling between single photons and atom-like single defects in silicon carbide.
