The miniaturization of optical systems via integrated photonics is critical to the ultimate scalability and performance of photonic quantum processors, yet many longstanding optical signal processing capabilities—such as Fourier-transform pulse shaping—remain unrealized on chip. In this work, we demonstrate on-chip spectral shaping of entangled photons using a multichannel microring-resonator-based silicon photonic pulse shaper. Achieving line-by-line phase control on a 3 GHz grid for two frequency-bin-entangled qudits, the pulse shaper's fine spectral resolution enables control of nanosecond-scale temporal features, which are observed by direct coincidence detection of biphoton correlation functions that show excellent agreement with theory. This work marks a demonstration of biphoton pulse shaping using an integrated spectral shaper and holds significant promise for applications in photonic quantum information processing.
