Presentations
PIC for Photonic Quantum Computing
Photonic quantum computing offers a promising path to scalable quantum processors by using single photons as carriers of quantum information. This presentation introduces the photonic integrated circuit platform developed at Quandela and its architecture for a photonic quantum processing unit. We discuss the system-level principles enabling core quantum computing functions and how integrated photonics supports scalability toward large-scale photonic quantum computing.
