Abstract
All optical quantum information processing is an important developing field for understanding and exploiting quantum entanglement and offers opportunities in quantum computation, quantum sensing and quantum communication. The presentation will describe work on laser written devices in a silica on silicon platform. The devices can be used to create single photon sources, waveguide circuitry and number resolving detectors. Applications of the technology include boson sampling, quantum teleportation, on-chip number resolving detection and quantum simulation. The use of laser writing allows for rapid prototyping, and by including high quality Bragg gratings, it is possible to provide accurate measurements of device properties including losses and coupler variability. Furthermore, the ability to make accurate measurements of material properties such as dispersion and birefringence allows the creation of tailored devices with optimal properties for identical photon sources.
