A plug-n-play approach to quantum photonics.

Quantum technologies exploiting guided optics and integrated photonics represent a field in fully expansion due to the possibility of covering a wide panel of quantum light-based applications. In this talk, I will present our results on the development of telecom-compatible solutions for quantum optics experiments in the continuous variable regime of quantum information encoding. A first part of the talk will focus on the manipulation of quantum states of light, proving the possibility of implementing scalable and reconfigurable setups following a plug-n-play approach. In what follows, a proposal will be presented and discussed on the possibility of generating and manipulating complex quantum states, carrying non-Gaussian features, by exploiting a multimode approach as a key strategy.
