Claim 9:
10. The photonic processor of claim 1, wherein the plurality of optical multiplication devices comprises a first optical multiplication device, the first optical multiplication device comprising:
a first input waveguide configured to receive a first optical signal, the first optical signal comprising a first value;
a second input waveguide configured to receive a second optical signal, the second optical signal comprising a second value;
a coupler circuit coupled to the first input waveguide and the second input waveguide and configured to output a first mixed optical signal and a second mixed optical signal by mixing the first optical signal and the second optical signal;
a first detector coupled to the coupler circuit and configured to output a first electrical signal based on the first mixed optical signal;
a second detector coupled to the coupler circuit and configured to output a second electrical signal based on the second mixed optical signal; and
a circuit coupled to the first detector and second detector and configured to output a third electrical signal that is proportional to a product of the first value and the second value based on the first electrical signal and the second electrical signal.
