Abstract
This dissertation collects a sequence of case studies on the physics of coupled networks of quantum parametric oscillators. In the first part, we review the relevant formalism used to describe quantum parametric oscillators and quantum networks. In the second part, we examine a family of architectures based on time-multiplexed parametric oscillators, more widely known as coherent Ising machines for solving hard optimization problems. In the third part, we consider two case studies in frequency-multiplexed networks: a microwave architecture in which couplings can be arbitrarily synthesized, and an optical system in which the collective excitation of many frequency modes come together to form an ultrashort pulse. In the last part, we explore the quantum dynamics of ultrashort pulses of light undergoing traveling-wave parametric interactions.
