• Abstract: Large arrays of independent, pure and identical heralded single photon sources are ubiquitous in today's Noise Intermediate Scale Quantum devices (NISQ). In the race towards the development of increasingly ideal sources, delayed-pump Intermodal Four Wave Mixing (IFWM) in multimode waveguides has recently demonstrated record performances in all these metrics, becoming a benchmark for spontaneous sources in integrated optics. Despite this, fabrication imperfections still spoil the spectral indistinguishability of photon pairs from independent sources. Here we show that by tapering the width of the waveguide and by controlling the delay between the pump pulses, we add spectral tunability to the source while still inheriting all the record metrics of the IFWM scheme. This feature is used to recover spectral indistinuishability in presence of fabrication errors. Under realistic tolerances on the waveguide dimensions, we predict >99.5% indistinguishability between independent sources on the same chip, and a maximum degradation of the Heralded Hong Ou Mandel visibility <0.35 %.

  We present an integrated PDC source based on a Ti:LiNbO$_3$ waveguide that generates broadband bi-photons with central wavelengths at $860,mathrmnm$ and $2800,mathrmnm$. Their spectral bandwidth exceeds $25,mathrmTHz$ and is achieved by simultaneous matching of the group velocities and cancellation of group velocity dispersion for the signal and idler field. We provide an intuitive understanding of the process by studying our source's behaviour at different temperatures and pump wavelengths, which agrees well with simulations.

  Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) interference is crucial in performing quantum optical communication and computation tasks. Lately, twin beam emitters such as those relying on the process of parametric down-conversion (PDC) have become confident sources of heralded single photons.

• Scalable multiphoton generation from cavity-synchronized single-photon sources [5.187669487527287]
  Design relies on multiple single-photon sources, each coupled to a waveguide, and all of them interact with a common cavity mode. For a state-of-the-art circuit QED implementation, this scheme supports the creation of single photons with purity, indistinguishability, and efficiency of $99%$ at rates of $sim $MHz. This is orders of magnitude more efficient than previous demultiplexed sources for boson sampling and enables the realization of deterministic multi-photon sources and scalable quantum information processing with photons.
