Summary

The article discusses the generation of Gottesman–Kitaev–Preskill (GKP) qubit states using an ultra-low-loss integrated photonic chip, paving the way for fault-tolerant photonic quantum computing. The states exhibit critical features necessary for fault tolerance and could lead to the development of arrays of GKP sources for future quantum machines.

High-purity sources of such states invariably rely on parametric nonlinear optical interactions and photon counting.
Existing pioneering demonstrations generating optical GKP states have relied on free-space optical components, hindering the scaling eventually required for a utility-scale system.
Our GKP states show sufficient structure to indicate that the devices used to make them could yield states for the fault-tolerant regime.

Building a useful photonic quantum computer requires robust techniques to synthesize optical states that can encode qubits. Gottesman–Kitaev–Preskill (GKP) states1 offer one of the most attractive classes of such qubit encodings, as they enable the implem
