Integrated quantum frequency comb source of entangled qubits

We demonstrate the simultaneous generation of multiple time-bin entangled photon pairs on a CMOS-compatible photonic chip. We measure quantum interference and perform state tomography, confirming entangled qubits with fidelities above 86% and 99.9% purity.
