Best Regards, Ling Integrated Photonics for Quantum Interconnects Prof. Marko Loncar, Harvard University Abstract: Optical interconnects, empowered by a variety of integrated photonic platforms, form the backbone of modern communication systems, including tele-com, data-com and microwave-photonics. Similarly, integrated photonic enabled quantum interconnects will be crucial for realization of quantum networks. In my talk I will discuss quantum photonic platforms based on thin film lithium niobate and diamond and their applications in realization of quantum repeaters and quantum transducers. The former are important for the development of quantum internet while the latter will enable modular quantum computing.
