Solid-state quantum emitters have attracted much attention as an integrated source of photonic and spin qubits, which are basic elements for a range of quantum applications. Recent advances in the generation, manipulation, and integration of these emitters have demonstrated a variety of quantum resources: bright quantum light sources, quantum memories, and spin-photon interfaces. In particular, controllable quantum emitters in photonic cavities or waveguides enable scalable quantum interactions between multiple photons and emitters. Given their high performance and scalability, quantum emitters are taking the next stages towards scalable, integrated quantum systems on photonic integrated circuits or fiber optics. Therefore, all quantum operations are efficiently possible in compact optics systems. In this talk, I introduce important challenges and recent races in scalable, integrated quantum photonics systems and new approaches to interfacing quantum emitters to commercial fiber platforms efficiently
