Abstract

Assisted by the rapid development of photonic integrated circuits, scalable and versatile chip-based quantum light sources with nonlinear optics are increasingly tangible for real-world applications. In this review, we introduce the basic concepts behind parametric photon pair sources and discuss the current state-of-the-art photon pair generation in detail but also highlight future perspectives in hybrid integration, novel waveguide structures, and on-chip multiplexing. The advances in near-deterministic integrated photon pair sources are deemed to pave the way for the realization of large-scale quantum photonic integrated circuits for applications, including quantum telecommunication, quantum sensing, quantum metrology, and photonic quantum computing.
