Popis: The usage of linear optics for quantum computation is a fast evolving field in the quantum optics community. This attention is mainly driven by the conceivable integration of whole quantum processors on a single semiconductor chip, as it is common for classical electrical computers. Although silicon is the most commonly used platform for on-chip photonics due to its high degree of technical development, the usage of III-V semiconductors is a promising candidate for fully integrated quantum optical networks due to the straightforward implementation of semiconductor quantum dots as on-demand single-photon sources. This chapter gives an overview over the current advance on GaAs-based photonic circuits with integrated quantum dots. We will focus on the basic design of integrated photonics and the realizations of the on-chip equivalents of elementary building elements which are needed for quantum computation. This includes the performance analysis of fabricated devices as beam splitters and their compatibility with quantum dots as integrated single-photon sources.
