Silicon source of frequency-bin entangled photons.

We demonstrate an integrated source of frequency-entangled photon pairs on a silicon photonics chip. The emitter has a coincidence-to-accidental ratio exceeding 10. We prove entanglement by showing two-photon frequency interference with a visibility of 94.

Programmable frequency-bin quantum states in a nano-engineered silicon device.

Photonic qubits should be controllable on-chip and noise-tolerant when transmitted over optical networks for practical applications. Furthermore, qubit sources should be programmable and have high brightness to be useful for quantum algorithms and grant resilience to losses. However, widespread encoding schemes only combine at most two of these properties.
