Abstract: The integration of coherent quantum emitters with silicon photonic platforms essential for scalable quantum technologies. We demonstrate electrically controlled self-assembled quantum dots embedded in GaAs waveguides bonded onto a SiO2/Si substrate and coupled to low-loss SiN waveguides. Our approach uses a die-to-die adhesive bonding process to realize a GaAs-on-insulator platform incorporating a p-i-n junction for charge noise suppression and Stark tuning of excitonic transitions. Resonance fluorescence measurements reveal narrow optical linewidths below 2 {\mu}eV and high single-photon purity, matching the performance of unprocessed GaAs devices. These results establish a practical route to integrate high-coherence quantum light sources with mature silicon photonics, enabling scalable quantum photonic integrated circuits

Highly indistinguishable single photons from droplet-etched GaAs quantum dots integrated in single-mode waveguides and beamsplitters [0.0]
GaAs quantum dots (QDs) obtained by droplet etching epitaxy show excellent performances with visibilities close to one for both individual and remote emitters. We show the first implementation in this direction, realizing the key passive elements needed in photonic integrated circuits (PICs) We study both the statistical distribution of wavelength, linewidth and decay times of the excitonic line of multiple QDs, as well as the quantum optical properties of individual emitters under resonant excitation.
