• Abstract: High-speed generation and efficient entanglement detection on a photonic chip are essential for quantum information applications but hard to achieve due to common photonic chips' material properties and limited component performance. In this work, we experimentally demonstrate entanglement witness on a silicon photonic chip, with multi-rail single-photon entanglement generation based on decoy-state techniques. The detection is based on balanced homodyne detectors on the same photonic chip with a bandwidth of up to 12.5 GHz, which allows room-temperature operation. A loss-equivalent analysis method compensates for optical losses and system noises. Experimental results quantify an entangled state fidelity of 92% in quantum state tomography and a Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) violation lower bound of 2.59. These results establish a viable path toward fully integrated, high-bandwidth, room-temperature quantum photonic systems, with potential applications in on-chip quantum optics and quantum random number generation.

  Single photon detectors have been the subject of intense study due to their ubiquity in nanophotonic platforms. We propose and demonstrate a single photon detection scheme based on optical parametric amplification in nanophotonic lithium niobate (LN) combined with a classical photodetector. We show that by improving the nonlinearity-to-loss ratio in nanophotonics and using homodyne detection on a squeezed pump, the detector can achieve 69% efficiency with 0.9% dark count rate.
