Abstract

A high-flux entangled-photon source is a key resource for quantum optical study and application. Here, it is realized in a lithium niobate on isolator (LNOI) chip, with 2.79 × 1011 Hz/mW photon-pair rate and 1.53 × 109 Hz/(nm mW) spectral brightness. These data are boosted by over 2 orders of magnitude compared with existing technologies. A 160-nm-broad bandwidth is engineered for eight-channel multiplexed energy-time entanglement. Harnessed by high-extinction-frequency correlation and Franson interferences up to 99.17% visibility, such energy-time-entanglement multiplexing further enhances the high-flux data rate and warrants broad application in quantum-information processing on a chip.
