Abstract

The application of integrated photonic technologies to quantum optics has recently enabled a wealth of breakthrough experiments in several quantum information areas. In particular, femtosecond laser written optical circuits revealed to be the ideal tool for investigating the features of polarization encoded qubits. However, the difficulty of integrating half and quarter wave plates in such circuits avoids the possibility to perform arbitrary rotations of the polarization state of photons on chip.
