Abstract:

This thesis proposal envisions novel integrated photonic framework to realize a fully integrated quantum-photonic processor, compatible with microelectronic platform for further integration with high-speed electronics. This would provide a path toward integration of classical and quantum processors on a single chip. For this purpose, it is necessary to study the fundamental requirements for efficient interconnecting, and interaction between different parties forming the hybrid system, i.e., interfaces, to establish a framework to be used in high-speed photonic processors and quantum photonic chips. This thesis provides novel scheme in realizing high-speed photonics interconnects, generating photonic entangled states, and also providing an appropriate interface between atoms and photons on a chip.
