First electronic-photonic quantum chip manufactured in commercial foundry
First time quantum light sources, control electronics are tightly integrated on a silicon chip
A packaged circuit board containing the chip placed under microscope in probe station during an experiment. The first-of-its-kind silicon chip combines both the quantum light-generating components (photonics) with classical electronic control circuits — all packed into an area measuring just one millimeter by one millimeter.
For the first time, scientists at Northwestern University, Boston University (...
