We perform a numerical simulation study of hollow-core anti-resonant reflection optical waveguides (ARROWs) fabricated using lithography and material deposition in the context of their suitability as a platform for on-chip photonic quantum information processing. We explore the effects of the core size, the number of pairs of anti-resonant layers surrounding the hollow core, and the refractive index contrast between the anti-resonant layer materials on propagation losses in the waveguide. Additionally, we investigate the feasibility of integrating these waveguides with Bragg gratings and dielectric metasurfaces to form on-chip cavities that could act as nonlinear optical elements controllable with single photons when loaded with atomic ensembles.
