Quantum latent distributions in deep generative models

Omar Bacarreza, Thorin Farnsworth, Alexander Makarovskiy +6

Many successful families of generative models leverage a low-dimensional latent distribution that is mapped to a data distribution. Though simple latent distributions are often use…

Boundaries for quantum advantage with single photons and loop-based time-bin interferometers

Samo Novák, David D. Roberts, Alexander Makarovskiy +2

Loop-based boson samplers interfere photons in the time degree of freedom using a sequence of delay lines. Since they require few hardware components while also allowing for long-r…
