Parameter-Shift Rules for Gradients in Boson Sampling Experiments

Marius Trudeau, Pierre-Emmanuel Emeriau, Nicolás Quesada

Using a robust photon loss model for photonic quantum experiments, we derive th order parameter-shift rules for computing gradients of Fock boson sampling transition probabilit…

Quantum-inspired classical algorithm for graph problems by Gaussian boson sampling

Changhun Oh, Bill Fefferman, Liang Jiang +1

We present a quantum-inspired classical algorithm that can be used for graph-theoretical problems, such as finding the densest -subgraph and finding the maximum weight clique, w…

Photon-number moments and cumulants of Gaussian states

Yanic Cardin, Nicolás Quesada

We develop closed-form expressions for the moments and cumulants of Gaussian states when measured in the photon-number basis. We express the photon-number moments of a Gaussian sta…

Waveguided sources of consistent, single-temporal-mode squeezed light: the good, the bad, and the ugly

Martin Houde, Nicolás Quesada

We study theoretically how the brightness of pumps, with fixed profiles, affects the temporal mode structure of squeezed states generated by fixed parametric waveguided sources. We…

Riemannian optimization of photonic quantum circuits in phase and Fock space

Yuan Yao, Filippo Miatto, Nicolás Quesada

We propose a framework to design and optimize generic photonic quantum circuits composed of Gaussian objects (pure and mixed Gaussian states, Gaussian unitaries, Gaussian channels,…
