BosonSampling.jl: A Julia package for quantum multi-photon interferometry

Abstract

We present a free open source package for high performance simulation and numerical investigation of boson samplers and, more generally, multi-photon interferometry. Our package is written in Julia, allowing C-like performance with easy notations and fast, high-level coding. Underlying building blocks can easily be modified without complicated low-level language modifications. We present a great variety of routines for tasks related to boson sampling, such as statistical tools, optimization methods, classical samplers and validation tools.
