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,…
Classical models may be a better explanation of the Jiuzhang 1.0 Gaussian Boson Sampler than its targeted squeezed light model
Javier Martínez-Cifuentes, K. M. Fonseca-Romero, Nicolás Quesada
Recently, Zhong et al. performed landmark Gaussian boson sampling experiments with up to 144 modes using threshold detectors. The authors claim to have achieved quantum computation…
Threshold detection statistics of bosonic states
Jacob F. F. Bulmer, Stefano Paesani, Rachel S. Chadwick +1
In quantum photonics, threshold detectors, distinguishing between vacuum and one or more photons, such as superconducting nanowires and avalanche photodiodes, are routinely used to…
