Title: Harnessing single photons in quantum technology
 
Abstract:  Quantum technology employs the ‘spooky’ phenomena of quantum physics such as superposition, randomness and entanglement to process information in a novel way. Quantum photonics provides a promising path for both delivering quantum-enhanced technologies, including quantum simulation and quantum communication, as well as exploring fundamental physics, including realizations of delayed-choice experiments and nonlocal quantum eraser. 
In this talk, I will first present our work on long-distance free-space quantum teleportation. Quantum and classical channels were employed over 143 kilometers between two Canary Islands (La Palma to Tenerife). We successfully teleported the quantum states of single photons from La Palma to Tenerife. This demonstration represents a major step towards the realization of quantum communication on a global scale. 
It is foreseeable that future technologies will require integrated optics architecture for enhanced performance, miniaturization and scalability. In the second part of my talk, I will cover our recent endeavors along this line, including demonstrations of on-chip interaction-free measurements via the quantum Zeno effect, as well as on-chip single-photon detection. Finally, I will discuss the opportunities and challenges for improving the scalability of photonic quantum systems.
