Abstract
A system for generating clock signals for a photonic quantum computing system includes a first pump photon source, a first photon-pair source optically coupled to the first pump photon source, and a first photodetector optically coupled to the first photon-pair source. The system also includes a first clock generator electrically coupled to the first photodetector, a second pump photon source, a second photon-pair source optically coupled to the second pump photon source, and a second photodetector optically coupled to the second photon-pair source. The system further includes a second clock generator electrically coupled to the second photodetector and a clock mediator coupled to the first clock generator and the second clock generator.
