Abstract
Quantum information was born from the merging of classical information and quantum physics. Its main
objective consists of understanding the quantum nature of information and learning how to process it by
using physical systems which operate by following quantum mechanics laws. Quantum simulation is a
fundamental instrument to investigate phenomena of quantum systems dynamics, such as quantum
transport, particle localizations and energy transfer, quantum-to-classical transition, and even quantum
improved computation, all tasks that are hard to simulate with classical approaches. Within this framework
integrated photonic circuits have a strong potential to realize quantum information processing by optical
systems.
The aim of 3D-QUEST is to develop and implement quantum simulation by exploiting 3-dimensional
integrated photonic circuits. 3D-QUEST is structured to demonstrate the potential of linear optics to
implement a computational power beyond the one of a classical computer. Such "hard-to-simulate"
scenario is disclosed when multiphoton-multimode platforms are realized. The 3D-QUEST research
program will focus on three tasks of growing difficulty.

The aim of 3D-QUEST is to develop and implement quantum simulation by exploiting 3-dimensional integrated photonic circuits. 3D-QUEST is structured to demonstrate the potential of linear optics to implement a computational power beyond the one of a classical computer. Such "hard-to-simulate" scenario is disclosed when multiphoton-multimode platforms are realized. The 3D-QUEST research program will focus on three tasks of growing difficulty.
1. To simulate bosonic-fermionic dynamics with integrated optical systems acting on 2 photon entangled states.
2. To pave the way towards hard-to-simulate, scalable quantum linear optical circuits by investigating m-port interferometers acting on n-photon states with n>2.
3. To exploit 3-dimensional integrated structures for the observation of new quantum optical phenomena and for the quantum simulation of more complex scenarios.
