Integrated Optics for Quantum Computer

Abstract

Many of the proof-of-principle experiments in quantum optics have been carried out using table-top free-space optics. While they provide good testbeds for optical quantum optics experiments, to build actual devices and quantum computers, we have to move to the integrated optics where reproducibility and stability are more reliable. In this chapter, we review the developments of the integrated optics for optical quantum computer with the main focus on their applications in continuous-variable optical quantum computation.
