Hybrid waveguide platforms for quantum optics — •Michal Bajcsy — IQC, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON, Canada

While often challenging to implement, combining systems and building blocks from different areas of quantum optics and nanophotonics can open avenues for realizing novel devices and for studies of previously unexplored phenomena. I will describe three hybrid nanophotonic platforms my group has been exploring in the past few years.

In the first platform, we attempt to integrate superconducting-nanowire single-photon detectors with waveguide arrays laser-written in glass. In the second platform, we propose to couple individual quantum emitters, such as trapped atoms, colour centres, or quantum dots, with dispersion engineered chiral waveguides to implement deterministic single-photon subtraction. Our third platform combines hollow-core waveguides with dielectric metasurfaces acting as mirrors to realize integrated Fabry-Perot cavities that can be designed to be polarization selective.
