Small-scale photonic Kolmogorov-Arnold networks using standard telecom nonlinear modules

In three linesPhotonic Kolmogorov-Arnold networks (SSP-KANs) implemented with standard telecom components (Mach-Zehnder interferometers, semiconductor optical amplifiers). Four-module network achieves 94.3% on nonlinear classification; seven-module network reaches R²=0.986 on regression. Robust down to 6-bit resolution and 14 dB SNR.
