Abstract

Photonic chips are becoming more programmable, with connectivity that is reconfigured using electronics and software. This evolution is propelled by artificial intelligence and quantum computing applications. We will discuss more general-purpose circuits that could be deployed in more diverse applications, similar to general-purpose programmable electronics.
