Building complex quantum systems has the potential to reveal new phenomena that cannot be studied using classical simulation. Photonics has proven to be an effective means to engineer quantum systems of this kind, and for the investigation of such effects. Scaling to large numbers of photons and components for their manipulation is facilitated by the compactness, inherent phase stability and simple alignment afforded by integrated photonic systems.
