ANTHONY LAING 'Quantum simulators in integrated photonics'

Recent progress in photonics has seen the integration of photon sources for on-chip generation and processing of 8 photons, more than 500 components on a silicon chip to process 8 qubits, and fully programmable circuitry to establish devices that are universal for linear optics. This all heralds a versatile class of quantum simulator and here I will discuss these results, including simulations of molecular quantum dynamics, and results toward scaling this technology to challenge conventional computers.
