We experimentally demonstrate stimulated four-wave mixing in two linearly uncoupled integrated Si3N4 micro-resonators. In our structure the resonance combs of each resonator can be tuned independently…

Gaussian boson sampling (GBS) is a near-term quantum computation framework that is believed to be classically intractable, but yet rich of potential applications.

Encoding a qubit in the continuous degrees of freedom of an oscillator is a significant pursuit of quantum computation. One advantageous way to achieve this is through the Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) grid states, whose symmetries allow for the correction of any small continuous error on the oscillator.

A quantum generalization of Natural Gradient Descent is presented as part of a general-purpose optimization framework for variational quantum circuits.

We introduce an exact classical algorithm for simulating Gaussian Boson Sampling (GBS). The complexity of the algorithm is exponential in the number of photons detected, which is itself a random variable. For a fixed number of modes, the complexity is in fact equivalent to that of calculating output probabilities, up to constant prefactors.

Random point patterns are ubiquitous in nature, and statistical models such as point processes, i.e., algorithms that generate stochastic collections of points, are commonly used to simulate and interpret them.

Stochastic models are highly relevant tools in science, engineering, and society. Recent work suggests emerging quantum computing technologies can substantially decrease the memory requirements for simulating stochastic models. 

A device called a `Gaussian Boson Sampler’ has initially been proposed as a near-term demonstration of classically intractable quantum computation. As recently shown, it can also be used to decide whether two graphs are isomorphic.

As a promising candidate for exhibiting quantum computational supremacy, Gaussian boson sampling (GBS) is designed to exploit the ease of experimental preparation of Gaussian states. In this work, we establish sufficient conditions for efficient approximate simulation of GBS under the effect of errors such as photon losses and dark counts.

We study the practical performance of quantum-inspired algorithms for recommendation systems and linear systems of equations. These algorithms were shown to have an exponential asymptotic speedup…

We consider conditional photonic non-Gaussian state preparation using multimode Gaussian states and photon-number-resolving detectors in the presence of photon loss. While simulation of such state preparation is often computationally challenging, we show that obtaining the required multimode Gaussian state Fock matrix

We report the first demonstrations of both quadrature squeezed vacuum and photon number difference squeezing generated in an integrated nanophotonic device. Squeezed light is generated via strongly driven spontaneous four-wave mixing below threshold in silicon nitride microring resonators.
