Abstract

Quantum interference of indistinguishable photons is the foundation of photonic quantum technologies, yet scaling from a few to many identical quantum light sources remains a major challenge. In solid-state platforms, spatial and spectral inhomogeneity and resource-intensive architectures impede scaling. As a result, interference between remote, independent quantum emitters has been thus far limited to pairs. Here we introduce a wavefront-shaping approach that enables scalable interference from multiple indistinguishable quantum dots on the same chip. Using programmable spatial light modulators, we independently excite, collect, and route emission from spatially distinct, yet spectrally degenerate dots. Scaling from two to five indistinguishable emitters, we verify interference through cooperative-emission phenomena and Hong-Ou-Mandel two-photon interference, thereby establishing a route towards large-scale, programmable quantum photonic architectures.
