Quantum communication applications require a scalable approach to integrate bright on-demand sources of entangled photon-pairs in complex on-chip quantum circuits. Currently, the most promising sources are based on III/V semiconductor quantum dots. However, complex photonic circuitry is mainly achieved in silicon photonics due to the tremendous technological challenges in circuit fabrication. We take the best of both worlds by developing a new hybrid on-chip nanofabrication approach [1], allowing to integrate III/V semiconductor nanowire quantum emitters into silicon-based photonics. We demonstrate for the first time on-chip generation, spectral filtering, and routing of single-photons from selected single and multiple nanowire quantum emitters all deterministically integrated in a CMOS compatible silicon nitride photonic circuit [2]. Our new approach eliminates the need for off-chip components, opening up new possibilities for large-scale quantum photonic systems with on-chip single- and entangled-photon sources.
