- This paper demonstrates a novel integrated nanophotonic device that fulfils a crucial requirement for optical quantum computing. Namely, non-classical photon statistics is accomplished using number-state filtering of coherent light, a method that had been only discussed theoretically before. We demonstrate experimentally that the output can be electrically tuned between bunched (classical) and anti-bunched (non-classical) light; importantly, this is controllable locally on chip. Our theoretical analysis provides in-depth insight into the potential of using optical quantum interference phenomena in the practical implementation of quantum communications.
