Integrated photonics in thin film lithium niobate for generation of quantum states of light
This project will develop an innovative platform in thin film lithium niobate for
performing quantum optics experiments with integrated devices. It will focus on the development of
innovative sources for single photons and squeezed vacuum based on periodically poled waveguides
and reconfigurable circuits, and on the integration of superconducting single photon detectors on-
chip. This project is part of an on-going collaboration between the Department of Industrial
Engineering at the University of Trento, the Bruno Kessler Foundation (FBK), the Italian Institute for
Nuclear Physics (INFN), and the National Research Council (CNR).
