Linear programmable nanophotonic processors

Advances in photonic integrated circuits have recently enabled electrically reconfigurable optical systems that can implement universal linear optics transformations on spatial mode sets. This review paper covers progress in such “programmable nanophotonic processors” as well as emerging applications of the technology to problems including classical and quantum information processing and machine learning.
