• Abstract: General-purpose programmable photonic processors provide a flexible foundation for integrating various functionalities within a single chip. A two-dimensional bricks waveguide mesh of Mach Zehnder interferometers has been demonstrated to possess considerable potential in the domain of photonic neural networks and quantum signal processing. In this article, we propose an expansion of the available applications of recirculating bricks mesh architecture to distillation protocols necessary for quantum signal processing. These protocols are essential for the heralding of the output of single photons, which is characterized by a reduced distinguishability error rate. The demonstration will be made of a single programmable optical system's ability to realize various distillation protocols with reduced computational resource costs. The present study will concentrate on cascaded quantum interferometers and Fourier transform-based schemes. It will demonstrate that the bricks mesh can implement such schemes, which are unattainable using feed-forward networks, without the need for complex out-of-plane integration. The propagation of the signal in any direction, along with the utilization of all ports as both input and output, facilitates the execution of such transformations with minimal optical depth of the circuit and in time scales shorter than the decoherence time.
