It combines topological error correction and measurement-based quantum computation, with the leading effort relying on massive-scale silicon photonics. I will then describe how cavity-QED with single atoms allows deterministic photon-atom two qubit gates, which in turn can drastically simplify the road towards fault-tolerant photonic quantum computing and improve its scaling to even larger numbers of physical qubits.
