Abstract

The present disclosure relates to implementations of a photonic circuit, and particularly to a photonic circuit that includes one or more matrix circuits. For example, the present disclosure relates to photonic circuit implementations of unitary matrices, and of arbitrary real and/or complex matrices factorized using unitary matrices, that utilize special generalized Mach-Zehnder interferometers (SGMZIs) as building blocks of various matrix circuit architectures.
