Nice idea, but you’re jumping ahead. First nail down the loss budget – every photon that’s lost is a computation dead. Keep the waveguides ultra‑low loss, use high‑Q resonators only where you need speed, not everywhere. Second, you need a reliable source. A pulsed laser with low jitter and high repetition is non‑trivial to integrate, so think about on‑chip laser diodes or even optical parametric oscillators. Third, temperature control – photonics is temperature‑sensitive, so build a thermoelectric system that keeps the refractive index stable. Finally, think about packaging; you can’t just bolt a bunch of fiber to a chip. Use a flip‑chip package with an integrated photonic interposer that handles power, heat, and optical coupling. If you can lock those three, you’ll get a chip that’s efficient enough to be commercial. And remember, every extra component adds noise and cost, so keep it lean.
