Multi-particle interference effects are fundamental for quantum information science. Interferometric stability and long coherence times are necessary in order to achieve large scale circuitry. Here photons and in particular integrated photonics are an attractive platform allowing complex circuits and precise control of quantum states.

Multiple photons propagating in planar and 3-dimensional waveguide arrays have been shown to enable observation of large scale quantum interference effects [1,2] known as quantum walks with applications in quantum computation and simulation. Here we present experimental results of three and four photons injected into waveguide circuits implementing quantum walks and also general linear optical operations [3].
