The trainability of photonic quantum circuits
Alexander Makarovskiy, Adam Taylor, Zhenghao Li +5
Variational quantum algorithms are a leading approach to near-term quantum computing, but their scalability can be limited by barren plateaus and the sampling cost of resolving sma…
Improving the loss threshold for quantum advantage in photonic sensors by complete photon counting
Gerard J. Machado, Yazeed K. Alwehaibi, Guillaume Thekkadath +9
Tolerance to imperfections is a defining performance criterion for quantum sensors. The threshold for achieving a quantum advantage depends on the input state, sensor configuration…
Displaced Gaussian Boson Sampling for enhanced max-clique search
Ewan Mer, Zhenghao Li, Shang Yu +2
Gaussian Boson Sampling (GBS) is capable of solving certain classes of graph problems owing to the samples produced by such a device having a connection to the hafnian matrix funct…
Photonic Quantum-Enhanced Knowledge Distillation
Kuan-Cheng Chen, Shang Yu, Chen-Yu Liu +10
Photonic quantum processors naturally produce intrinsically stochastic measurement outcomes, offering a hardware-native source of structured randomness that can be exploited during…
Machine learning of quantum data using optimal similarity measurements
Zhenghao Li, Hao Zhan, Shana H. Winston +11
Quantum machine learning seeks a computational advantage in data processing by evaluating functions of quantum states, such as their similarity, that can be classically intractable…
Extensible universal photonic quantum computing with nonlinearity
Shang Yu, Jinzhao Sun, Kuan-Cheng Chen +17
Universal quantum computing requires an architecture that supports both linear circuits and, crucially, strong nonlinear resources. For quantum photonic systems, integrating such n…
