https://phys.org/news/2023-09-kind-chip-quantum-technology.html

"silicon photonic coupled cavity array quantum simulator constructed to solve 1 specific purpose equation model... scalable, measurable, programmable... pseudo-atomic lattice of 8 photonic resonators... photons confined, raised and lowered in energy, and moved around in controlled manner forming circuits... algorithm characterizes chip in detail, using only information available on chip's boundaries, and designing architecture for heating and independently controlling each cavity in array leading to device prrogramming"
