Mmm...but scaling up is not the same in photonics as it is in digital. Everyone thinks of scaling in terms of digital, like Alan Turing, von Neumann, and later Moore talked about, if you have an amplifier you can amplify it with another amplifier, so as long as it's totally digital the signals can be manipulated at arbitrarily small scales. Not true for analog or photons or quantum, there's weird caveats and they're not well researched, this scaling works only for digital.
