Judith, just to confirm: This is being done optically on the chip, not electrically?

And a reading suggestion for all: The Code Book Most of it is off topic, but interesting. The last chapter, however, is quite relevant: It describes the power of the Quantum Computer, specifically wrt decoding encryptions (it would be fast enough to go through all the calculations needed). For us, it brings home the whole power of light over electricity.

A clrification-

<<The good thing about AWGs is that they increase the distance between amplifiers and thus the total cost.>>

Did you mean to write, ". . . they increase the distance between amplifiers and thus reduce the total cost?" Increasing the cost would not be a good thing.
