• Abstract: Extensive literature has shown that finite impulse response (FIR) interferometers can be engineered to be insensitive under variations of different physical parameters, e.g., to ensure flat-top response and/or tolerance to fabrication errors. In this context, I will show how the Bloch sphere representation can be a very powerful design tool providing superior physical insight into the working principle of autocorrective devices like broadband 50:50 splitters or flat-top interleavers, that can be therefore designed through simple analytical formulas. I will eventually review the recent progress in practical implementation of the autocorrective designs in the micron-scale silicon photonics platform of VTT.

  Commercial semiconductor foundries can create quantum processors (QPs) using the same processes employed for conventional chips.
