Abstract
Photonics integration is a key technology for realizing large-scale photonic quantum information processing. We demonstrate state-of-art reconfigurable photonic processors based on low-loss silicon nitride waveguide networks. We present the science behind such a processor, which consists of a large mesh of integrated reconfigurable Mach Zehnder interferometers. In this talk, we will present the newest results of the current generation of our programmable quantum photonic processors obtained by classical as well as quantum optical characterization. Furthermore, we show the challenges of scaling up quantum photonic processors and the range of potential applications of large-scale quantum information processing those will enable.
