Abstract

We review our work on implementing integrated QFC sources based on microring resonators for on-chip generation of two- and multi-photon time-bin entangled states, d-level frequency-entangled photon pairs, and multipartite d-level cluster states. We also present our recent progress on telecom-compatible, scalable, time-entangled two-photon qubits using on-chip Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZI) in combination with spiral waveguides. Both approaches are highly cost-effective, efficient, and practical, since we coherently manipulate the time and frequency modes through standard fiber-linked components that are compatible with off-the-shelf telecommunications infrastructures. Our work paves the way for robust sources and processors of complex photon states for future quantum technologies.
