Integrated photonic technologies have recently shown significant advances, enabling the possibility to implement reconfigurable interferometers with increasing size. One of the main tasks to fully exploit the capabilities of reconfigurable integrated interferometers is the possibility to precisely program their operation to perform a desired target unitary. While recipes are known for circuit layouts based on … Continua a leggere

Integrated quantum photonics has emerged as one of the leading platforms for scaling quantum information processing, offering compact, stable, and low-loss hardware with precise phase and mode control. Advances in integrated photonics architectures and active programmability now enable complex, high-dimensional transformations essential for quantum advantage tasks. We introduce an integrated, reconfigurable 3D photonic device with … Continua a leggere

Quantum violations of Bell inequalities show that the physical world cannot simultaneously satisfy a set of seemingly natural assumptions, including locality, freedom of choice, and classical cause–and–effect relations. This fundamental feature of quantum mechanics, known as nonlocality, highlights a deep conflict with classical intuitions. Recent work has explored whether this conflict can be resolved by … Continua a leggere

Model-independent estimation of the properties of quantum states is a central challenge in quantum technologies, as experimental imperfections, drifts, and imprecise models of the actual quantum dynamics inevitably hinder accurate reconstructions. Here, we introduce a training strategy for photonic quantum extreme learning machines in which both the learning stage and the optimization of the measurement … Continua a leggere

Quantum correlations in networks with independent sources have revealed novel forms of nonclassical behavior. While entanglement in the sources is a necessary ingredient, the role played by entanglement in the measurements remains largely unexplored. In particular, all existing demonstrations of full network nonlocality, certifying the nonclassicality of every source in the network, have relied on … Continua a leggere

The rapid growth of machine learning is increasingly constrained by the energy and bandwidth limits of classical hardware. Optical and quantum technologies offer an alternative route, enabling high-dimensional, parallel information processing directly in the physical layer, particularly suited for imaging tasks. In this context, quantum photonic platforms provide both a natural mechanism for computing inner … Continua a leggere
