Abstract

This chapter offers a comprehensive overview of the evolution of quantum computing over the past three decades, charting its progression from a theoretical concept rooted in quantum mechanics to a practical reality. Emphasizing recent developments, it explores challenges and advancements in quantum computing technologies, with applications ranging from quantum key distribution to gravitational wave detection and complex problem-solving. Additionally, the chapter delves into the materials involved in quantum communication, highlighting the crucial role of silicon photonics in achieving scalability and efficiency. The discussion extends its focus to scalable methods for silicon photonic chips in quantum information processing. It encompasses areas such as cryogenic practices, chip interconnects, single-photon sources, quantum photon detection, and mode-division multiplexing. The exploration of quantum communication emphasizes the secure process of quantum key distribution and the influence of quantum entanglement on communication security. The application of silicon photonics in quantum computing, particularly in quantum communication, teleportation, and error correction, is detailed, addressing challenges such as quantum ...
