摘要

We provide an overview of quantum photonic network on chip.We begin from the discussion of the pros and cons of several material platforms for engineering quantum photonic chips.Then we introduce and analyze the basic building blocks and functional units of quantum photonic integrated circuits.In the main part of this review,we focus on the generation and manipulation of quantum states of light on chip and are particularly interested in some applications of advanced integrated circuits with different functionalities for quantum information processing,including quantum communication,quantum computing,and quantum simulation.We emphasize that developing fully integrated quantum photonic chip which contains sources of quantum light,integrate circuits,modulators,quantum storage,and detectors are promising approaches for future quantum photonic technologies.Recent achievements in the large scale photonic chips for linear optical computing are also included.Finally,we illustrate the challenges toward high performance quantum information processing devices and conclude with promising perspectives in this field.
