Controlling and programming quantum devices to process quantum information by the unit of qudit shows great potential to enhance the capabilities of qubit-based quantum technologies. Here, we report a programmable qudit-based quantum processor in silicon-photonic integrated circuits and demonstrate its enhancement of quantum computational parallelism. The processor monolithically integrates all the key functionalities and capabilities of initialisation, manipulation, and measurement of the two-ququart states and multi-value quantum-controlled logic gates with high-level fidelities. We implemented the basic quantum Fourier transform algorithms to benchmark the enhancement of quantum parallelism using qudits, allowing the implementations of more than one million high-fidelity preparations, operations and projections of qudit states in the processor. Our work shows an integrated quantum technology for qudit-based quantum computing with enhanced capacity, accuracy, and efficiency.
