| contents | Quantum squeezed states of light can enhance measurement sensitivity beyond classical limits and enable quantum information processing, but scalable low-loss sources remain challenging. We demonstrate continuous-wave quantum squeezing on a chip, achieving 18 dB of squeezing and 20 dB of anti-squeezing at 1570 nm in a 1.6-cm traveling-wave adaptively poled thin-film lithium niobate waveguide. A distributed model independently determines facet losses, phase noise, and nonlinear interaction strength without prior assumptions, enabling rigorous inference of on-chip performance. We estimate a 95% confidence interval of [-18.96, -17.25] dB squeezing and [19.96, 21.35] dB anti-squeezing. These values represent the highest squeezing reported for any integrated photonic platform and the first assumption-free statistical validation of integrated squeezing performance. Our results establish thin-film lithium niobate as a high-performance, scalable platform for continuous-variable quantum sensing, communications, and photonic computing. |
