1. A configurable microwave network comprising:
a first plurality of arms, each arm of the first plurality of arms extending substantially parallel to other arms of the first plurality of arms;
a second plurality of microwaves lines, each arm of the second plurality of arms extending substantially parallel to other arms of the second plurality of arms, and each crossing and electrically coupling to the first plurality of arms, wherein each arm of the first and the second pluralities of arms comprises first and second ends;
a plurality of connections comprising: a first set of connections located at the first ends of the first and the second plurality of arms, a second set of connections located at the second ends of the first and the second plurality of arms, and a third set of connections each located at a crossing of one arm of the first plurality of arms and one arm of the second plurality of arms;
a plurality of broadband switches, each broadband switch of the plurality of broadband switches located at a connection of the third set of connections, wherein each broadband switch is a Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID)-based switch; and,
a plurality of circuit components, each circuit component of the plurality of circuit components interrupts a respective arm of one of the first and the second pluralities of arms at a location between two connections of the plurality of connections.
