Abstract

In this thesis, I have presented the theoretical model, the setup details and results of a range of quantum photonics experiments in integrated waveguide optics that I have performed with collaborators during my PhD studies. Here the key results of the entire thesis are summarised. This is followed with an outlook to future research in the same area.
