Quantum information science has found great experimental
success by exploiting single photons. To date, however,
the majority of quantum optical experiments use large-scale (bulk)
optical elements bolted down to an optical bench, an approach that
ultimately limits the complexity and stability of the quantum
circuits required for quantum science and technology. The
realization of complex optical schemes involving large numbers of
elements requires the introduction of waveguide technology to
achieve the desired scalability, stability and miniaturization of
the device. This thesis reports on surprising findings in the field
of integrated devices for quantum information. Here the
polarization of the photon is shown to offer a suitable degree of
freedom for encoding quantum information in integrated systems. The
most important results concern: the quantum interference of
polarization entangled photons in an on-chip directional coupler;
the realization of a Controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate operating with
polarization qubits; the realization of a quantum walk of bosons
and fermions in an ordered optical lattice and the quantum
simulation of Anderson localization of bosons and fermions
simulated by polarization entangled photons in a disordered quantum
walk. The findings presented in this thesis represent an important
step towards the integration of a complete quantum photonic
experiment in a chip.
