In his presentation, titled “Ultrafast Post-Selection Free Time-Bin Entanglement on a Thin Film Lithium Niobate Photonic Chip,” Bernardi introduced a fully packaged, chip-integrated receiver for time-bin entanglement certification that eliminates the need for temporal post-selection — a first-of-its-kind implementation using an integrated photonic platform. The device is based on AFR’s commercial-grade TFLN technology and demonstrates high-speed operation with switching rates up to 5 GHz, low driving voltage (Vπ as low as 3.37 V), and compatibility with CMOS electronics.
This work underscores the potential of AFR’s TFLN platform for real-world quantum applications, marking a key milestone toward scalable, high-speed quantum networks. AFR remains committed to advancing integrated photonics through innovation, industrial-grade fabrication, and strong collaboration with leading research institutions.
