Abstract
Integrated quantum photonics is a key tool towards large scale quantum technologies. In this work we present an AlGaAs-based photonic circuit for on-chip generation and manipulation of broadband polarization-entangled photon pairs. The quantum state is generated by Type-II spontaneous parametric down conversion in AlGaAs Bragg reflection waveguides at telecom wavelengths and room temperature. Polarization entangled photons are manipulated over a frequency band of around 50 nm by an integrated polarizing beam splitter. We demonstrate Hong-Ou-Mandel visibility of 80% for a quantum device where the photon pairs generation and manipulation are implemented in a single chip.
