    This document summarizes a Nature publication about programmable photonic circuits. It discusses how integrated photonic technology now allows building large, complex photonic circuits on chip that can be programmed through software. These programmable circuits use a mesh of waveguides, tunable beam couplers, and optical phase shifters controlled electronically. They can perform linear matrix operations, quantum information processing, and microwave photonics applications. Programmable photonic chips provide a platform for prototyping new optical functionalities without custom fabrication.

    Abstract: The growing maturity of integrated photonic technology makes it possible to build
    increasingly large and complex photonic circuits on the surface of a chip. Today, most of these
    circuits are designed for a specific application, but the increase in complexity has introduced a
    generation of photonic circuits that can be programmed using software for a wide variety of
    functions through a mesh of on-chip waveguides, tunable beam couplers and optical phase
    shifters. Here we discuss the state of this emerging technology, including recent developments
    in photonic building blocks and circuit architectures, as well as electronic control and
    programming strategies. We cover possible applications in linear matrix operations, quantum
    information processing and microwave photonics, and examine how these generic chips can
    accelerate the development of future photonic circuits by providing a higher-level platform for
    prototyping novel optical functionalities without the need for custom chip fabrication.
