As quantum photonic systems grow in scale and complexity, these integrated quantum chips could become the building blocks for technologies ranging from secure communication networks to advanced sensing and, eventually, quantum computing infrastructure.

So this is more of a proof of a concept tech building block. From the article, it seems that this is mainly relevant for quantum computing and not regular computing.
