Implementation of quantum information using single photons, using heralded or entangled source, have versatility to be manipulated on free space, fiber optics or photonic chips. Our project proposes the uses of photonic chips to miniaturize experimental implementations using quantum optics. The chip design can be done using a similar design of free space experimental setup or can be used designs only possible in wave-guide. The photonic chip is based on silicon nitride wave-guide, allowing the generation and manipulation of correlated photons in the visible and infrared light. This band of the electromagnetic spectrum allows the integration of different quantum computation platforms, such as: ion traps and alkaline atoms. Moreover, using semiconductor material, it is possible to make integrated single photon detectors. This project is our first step for all in one device quantum computation based on photon chips.
