The three-year project aims to develop silicon photonics circuits capable of generating and manipulating single photons with linear optical components such as slow and rapid phase shifters, and detect them with superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors.
CEA-Leti has previously demonstrated entangled photon pairs on its silicon photonics platform, as well as other techniques and technologies that address the challenges of single-photon detection.
GLOSSARY
