Natural Gradient Optimization for Optical Quantum Circuits
Yuan Yao, Pierre Cussenot, Richard A. Wolf +1
Optical quantum circuits can be optimized using gradient descent methods, as the gates in a circuit can be parametrized by continuous parameters. However, the parameter space as se…
Fast differentiable evolution of quantum states under Gaussian transformations
Yuan Yao, Filippo M. Miatto
In a recent work we presented a recursive algorithm to compute the matrix elements of a generic Gaussian transformation in the photon-number basis. Its purpose was to evolve a quan…
Two-photon interference: the Hong-Ou-Mandel effect
FrédÉric Bouchard, Alicia Sit, Yingwen Zhang +5
Nearly 30 years ago, two-photon interference was observed, marking the beginning of a new quantum era. Indeed, two-photon interference has no classical analogue, giving it a distin…
