• Abstract summary: Integrated ring resonators have been used to generate frequency-entangled states through spontaneous four-wave-mixing. We have developed silicon ring resonators with a foot-print below 0.05 mm2 providing more than 70 frequency channels separated by 21 GHz. We demonstrate for the first time a fully connected 5-user quantum network in the frequency domain.

• Abstract: Harnessing the frequency dimension in integrated photonics offers key advantages in terms of scalability, noise resilience, parallelization and compatibility with telecom multiplexing techniques. Integrated ring resonators have been used to generate frequency-entangled states through spontaneous four-wave-mixing. However, state-of-the-art integrated resonators are limited by trade-offs in size, number of frequency modes and spectral separation. We have developed silicon ring resonators with a foot-print below 0.05 mm2 providing more than 70 frequency channels separated by 21 GHz. We exploit the narrow frequency separation to parallelize and independently control 34 single qubit-gates with off-the-shelf electro-optic devices. This allows to fully characterize 17 frequency-bin maximally-entangled qubit pairs by performing quantum state tomography. We demonstrate for the first time a fully connected 5-user quantum network in the frequency domain. These results are a step towards a new generation of quantum circuits implemented with scalable silicon photonics technology, for applications in quantum computing and secure communications.

A promising strategy is the use of multiple resonators, each generating photon pairs in specific frequency bins via spontaneous four-wave mixing. We present a programmable silicon photonics device for the generation of frequency bin entangled qudits, in which bin spacing, qudit, and bipartite quantum state can be reconfigured on-chip.
