Compact coupler designs for quantum optical circuits produced by direct UV writing
Integrated planar lightwave circuits (PLCs) provide a promising route to small-scale quantum optical networks [1]. Recent work on quantum logic gates using silica-based PLCs has highlighted the opportunities afforded by the ability to coherently manipulate degrees of freedom at the level of single photons [2]. Increasingly complex waveguide networks are required for linear optics quantum computing (LOQC), a route towards small scale quantum information processing [3]. This approach uses quantum interference between photons and measurements with feedforward to implement the nonlinear interactions between photons that are required for information processing. A major issue in developing such circuits is the internal loss and the coupling efficiency of input photon from optical fibers.

Abstract
Integrated planar lightwave circuits (PLCs) provide a promising route to small-scale quantum optical networks [1]. Recent work on quantum logic gates using silica-based PLCs has highlighted the opportunities afforded by the ability to coherently manipulate degrees of freedom at the level of single photons [2]. Increasingly complex waveguide networks are required for linear optics quantum computing (LOQC), a route towards small scale quantum information processing [3]. This approach uses quantum interference between photons and measurements with feedforward to implement the nonlinear interactions between photons that are required for information processing. A major issue in developing such circuits is the internal loss and the coupling efficiency of input photon from optical fibers.
