Abstract: The thesis at hand deals with the emergence of quantum holonomies in systems of coupled waveguides. Several proposals for their realisation in arrays of laser-written fused-silica waveguides are presented, including experimental results. I develop an operator-theoretic framework for the photon-number independent description of these optical networks. Finally, quantum holonomies will be embedded into schemes for measurement-based quantum computation, with the aim of approximating Jones polynomials.
