Results

"Let's start by the end"

Buf first...

... a bit of context !

Requirements for a practical quantum computer :

  • Long relevant decoherence times, much longer than the gate-operation time

  •  ...

Results

  1. Efficient generation of photon pairs at 1316nm in a fiber-coupled waveguide : \( 2 \times 10^{7} s^{-1} mW^{-1}\)
  2. Hong-Ou-Mandel visibility : 98.2%

HOM Interference Measurement

"Not related to resistance"

The theory

Now you are probably thinking

Remember what we are trying to do !

"Long relevant decoherence times, much longer than the gate-operation time"

The theory

Experimental Setup

Let's break it down

In theory...

In practice...

Conclusion

"They lived happily ever after"

  1. A lot of coherent pairs

  2. Long coherence time: \(3.83\pm 0.21ps\)

Conclusion

  1. Efficient generation of photon pairs at 1316nm in a fiber-coupled waveguide : \( 2 \times 10^{7} s^{-1} mW^{-1}\)
  2. Hong-Ou-Mandel visibility : 98.2%

Thank you for your attention !
