High visibility on-chip quantum interference among indistinguishable single-photons from multiples sources is a key prerequisite for integrated linear optical computing. Resonant enhancement in micro-ring resonators naturally enables brighter, purer and more single-photon production without any tight spectral filtering.

High-visibility quantum interference (indistinguishability) among single photons is the key to scalable, high-fidelity linear optical gates. Measuring indistinguishability by laborious and time-consuming, though, thus not scalable. The authors find that faster, simpler second-order correlation functions provide results equivalent indistinguishability, could be useful in rapid-prototyping source design of large-scale photonic circuits. Also, for mature guided-wave integrated optics such as...
