Scaling and networking a modular photonic quantum computer.

ABSTRACT: Photonics offers a promising platform for quantum computing^1-4, owing to the availability of chip integration for mass-manufacturable modules, fibre optics for networking and room-temperature operation of most components. However, experimental demonstrations are needed of complete integrated systems comprising all basic functionalities for universal and fault-tolerant operation⁵. Here we construct a (sub-performant) scale model of a quantum computer using 35 photonic chips to demonstrate its functionality and feasibility. This combines all the primitive components as discrete, scalable rack-deployed modules networked over fibre-optic interconnects, including 84 squeezers⁶ and 36 photon-number-resolving detectors furnishing 12 physical qubit modes at each cl
