	"description": "\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETitle: \u003C/strong\u003EAdvances in Heterogeneous Integrated Photonics for Scalable Quantum Technologies\u003C/p\u003E\u000A\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbstract: \u003C/strong\u003EIntegrated photonics is revolutionizing how we generate, manipulate, and transmit quantum information. While the scalability and manufacturability of silicon photonics has been a driver of many quantum photonic technologies over the past two decades, future progress requires hybrid and heterogeneous integration strategies that can take advantage of different materials. In this presentation, I\u0026rsquo\u003Bll focus on AlGaAs and InGaP\u0026mdash\u003Btwo III\u002DV semiconductor platforms that combine mature fabrication, a direct bandgap for electrical injection, low\u002Dloss operation, and large optical nonlinearities for efficient quantum light generation and conversion. After a brief introduction to the field, I\u0026rsquo\u003Bll discuss how we fabricate III\u002DV photonic devices heterogeneously integrated with ultra\u002Dlow\u002Dloss silicon nitride at wafer\u002Dscale, which we have utilized for high\u002Drate entangled\u002Dphoton pair generation and squeezing with performance that rivals bulk optics but with orders\u002Dof\u002Dmagnitude smaller footprint and power requirements. I\u0026rsquo\u003Bll highlight some emerging applications, including: (1) multiplexing arrays of quantum sources for reconfigurable multi\u002Duser quantum networking, cryptography, and clock synchronization, (2) development and integration of tunable chip\u002Dscale lasers for turnkey and compact quantum modules, and (3) chip\u002Dscale squeezed microcombs for quantum\u002Denhanced detectors and sensors. I\u0026rsquo\u003Bll conclude with exciting future directions envisioned for engineering quantum photonic systems in the next 5\u002D10 years.\u003C/p\u003E\u000A\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbout the Speaker:\u003C/strong\u003E Galan Moody is a Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of California Santa Barbara. Prior to this, he was a Research Scientist (2015\u002D2019) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and a National Research Council postdoctoral fellow at NIST (2013\u002D2015). He received a PhD in Physics (2013) and a BSc in Engineering Physics (2008) from CU\u002DBoulder. He is a recipient of a US Air Force Young Investigator Program award (2020), an NSF CAREER award (2021), an ACS Rising Star in Photonics Award (2024), and the UCSB College of Engineering outstanding faculty award (2024). He serves as a thrust co\u002Dlead and on the executive committee for UCSB\u0026rsquo\u003Bs NSF Quantum Foundry, chairs program committees for several conferences including FiOLS and CLEO, and he is on the editorial board for PRX Quantum and IOP\u0026rsquo\u003Bs Journal of Physics: Photonics.\u003C/p\u003E",
