Researchers build first chip combining electronics, photonics, and quantum light | This silicon chip breakthrough brings quantum light generation closer to scale
The new chip integrates quantum light sources and electronic controllers using a standard 45-nanometer semiconductor process. This approach paves the way for scaling up quantum systems in...
Microring resonators operate by synchronizing with incoming laser light, but their performance is highly sensitive to even slight temperature fluctuations or manufacturing variations – factors that can easily disrupt the delicate quantum processes they support. "A key challenge relative to our previous work was to push photonics design to meet the demanding requirements of quantum optics while remaining within the strict constraints of a commercial CMOS platform. The entire device was fabricated using a commercial complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor process and was developed in collaboration with industry partners such as GlobalFoundries and the Silicon Valley startup Ayar Labs.
