Integration of chip-scale quantum technology was the main aim of this study. First, the recent progress on silicon-based photonic integrated circuits is surveyed, and then it is shown that silicon integrated quantum photonics can be considered a compelling platform for the future of quantum technologies. Among subsections of quantum technology, quantum emitters were selected as the object, and different quantum emitters such as quantum dots, 2D materials, and carbon nanotubes are introduced. Later on, the most recent progress is highlighted to provide an extensive overview of the development of chip-scale quantum emitters. It seems that the next step towards the practical application of quantum emitters is to generate position-controlled quantum light sources. Among developed processes, it can be recognized that droplet–epitaxial QD growth has a promising future for the preparation of chip-scale quantum emitters.
