The author demonstrates and fully characterizes a two-qubit quantum photonic chip, capable of arbitrary two-qubit state preparation. Making use of the unprecedented degree of reconfigurability afforded by this device, a novel variation on Wheeler’s delayed choice experiment is implemented, and a new technique to obtain nonlocal statistics without a shared reference frame is tested. Also presented is a new algorithm for quantum chemistry, simulating the helium hydride ion. Finally, multiphoton quantum interference in a large Hilbert space is demonstrated, and its implications for computational complexity are examined.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053Quantum opticsQuantum computersSpintronicsChemistry, Physical and theoreticalQuantum theoryQuantum Opticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24050Quantum Information Technology, Spintronicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31070Theoretical and Computational Chemistryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C25007Quantum Computinghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M14070Quantum Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080Quantum optics.Quantum computers.Spintronics.Chemistry, Physical and theoretical.Quantum theory.Quantum Optics.Quantum Information Technology, Spintronics.Theoretical and Computational Chemistry.Quantum Computing.Quantum Physics.530.12Shadbolt Peterauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut803695MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254611403321Complexity and Control in Quantum Photonics1805147UNINA
