Technologies for a photon pair source integrated on a photonic die are disclosed. In an illustrative embodiment, a photonic die includes an integrated semiconductor laser. The integrated semiconductor laser pumps a Raman laser on the same die. The Raman laser has much lower noise near the laser peak compared to the semiconductor laser, due to a smaller gain bandwidth and less amplified stimulated emission. Due to the low noise, the Raman laser can be used to pump a spontaneous four-wave mixing (SFWM) source directly, without off-chip filtering required. The SFWM source can generate entangled photons with a high signal-to-noise ratio, with applications for quantum cryptography, quantum computing, and other quantum information processing tasks.
